The Baja is perfect for me for the reasons you listed. I got so much shit for buying a forester in the past from my idiot friends that have full size pickups and.... never use the bed or even touch gravel or dirt with them. They don’t tow anything either. F what others think is right.You can buy and install a horn yourself for like $30.
Thing with the Baja is it checks every box for me. It has a bed for hunting, fishing and camping plus any yard/housework/furniture moving and dirty soccer gear. It has 4 doors for my kids. It gets decent fas mileage. It’s small enough to park almost anywhere I drive 95% of the time, aka, New York City. It’s relatively easy to work on as I do much of my maintenance myself. The AWD is perfect for NYC winters and most of my hunting trips without needing truck tires and the 16- mpg’s that comes along with larger pickups.
It’s my life designed into a car and I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks about me because of it. Honestly, I don’t give a fuck about this or anything else about me. I’m unique in that way, I mean it when I say it, unlike most.
