I recently borrowed one from Greeley (CO) Subaru for a few days and spent quite a bit of time in it with my family. The test Baja was painted Brilliant Silver metallic and featured a gray leather interior.

All of this (called variable torque distribution) made the Baja a good choice to be driving around in the wintery February weather, and ride, road noise, and handling were all acceptable for such a versatile mode of transportation.
