phunlover Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Well because I am having so many problems w/ my baja...like today it wouldn't start again...don't know what's wrong yet, but this will be the second new battery in under a year because it was cold out this morning 14 f. I'm just starting to worry that the legacy gt wouldn't be a good replacement either, is anyone seeing any kind of the same problems with the legacy anywhere?

John M Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'd have to point my finger at the battery and not the car. Nothing in the car has any bearing on the battery's ability to hold a charge in cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'd have to point my finger at the battery and not the car. Nothing in the car has any bearing on the battery's ability to hold a charge in cold weather. unless something in the car isnt turning off and is causing a constant drain on the battery.

PGT Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Or it isn't mounted securely. Vibration is a battery's worst enemy. Moved to 'warranty' section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunlover Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 thx...was just wandering if all of my problems with my baja turbo, transmission problmes, shifting problems, battery problems, were showing up at all in the legacy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Not so far. Maybe it's the unique styling of the Baja that causes the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunlover Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 well reading the "studdering" thread makes me feel like it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 we have our own issues, most minor (studdering and clutch issues) and not an issue for 100% of LGT owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunlover Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 gotcha...it just seems that those problems are somehow related to this car not being a 6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parousia Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Consumer Reports reports that the reliability of the Baja is very low in comparasin with the rest of Subaru's lineup.... Even with the couple rattles i have had and the fact that I had to have a new CPU installed I fully expect this vehicle to be an excellent long term performer... BTW what ever made you buy a vehicle that looks like that anyway ???? :) Parousia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunlover Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 well i was looking for something fast and that could haul a good amount of stuff...didn't matter the look too much...just wanted something that wasn't a truck... i couldn't stand the ride of any truck that i test drove...

franklin Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The stock battery amp rating is sorry ass weak. So in very cold weather (you said 14 F) is is taxed. May want to look into a aftermarket higher amp battery. Its warming up around here now by when it was single digits this winter it turned over like my '70 dart slant 6 . I think they skimped on the battery. BTW they will sell you a battery warmer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Consumer Reports reports that the reliability of the Baja is very low in comparasin with the rest of Subaru's lineup.... Where is the Baja made? It's not listed on the SOJ site so I assume it's not available in Asia and most countries. This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunlover Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 but the last thing i'm going to do is put $ into something i am looking to get rid of here pretty soon depending on how this case goes...thx for the response though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
