2006 Baja safety ratings

Post by debbid »

My wife and I test drove a 2006 Baja today and love it. We've been thinking of getting a larger vehicle to replace my wife's Honda Fit and we are partial to Subarus. Out of curiosity, I've been trying to find safety ratings for the Baja and haven't had much luck. All the websites I've been to say that there is no information available. I'm confident that the Baja is a safe car but I'd like to see some crash test ratings. Anyone know where I can find that info?

I'm going to assume it is similar to a 2004 OB wagon. http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shopper ... &year=2004

In 2005 the Legacy and OB have a new body, but the Baja maintained the same body style as the 2000-2004 OB.

Thanks hocrest.

The car I'm looking at is a 2006 Turbo A/T with 67k miles. It's had one owner and the Carfax comes back clean. Is there are any particular items I should be on the look out for with these cars? If I bought this, it would be my 3rd turbo Subaru so I feel like I'm pretty familiar with the engines. Also, I'm hoping the dealer will allow me to have the car inspected independently.
