The November Consumer Reports evaluates the 2005 Legacy - Got mine in mail today.

Rated pretty good ... Compared the sedan to the Acura TSXm Audi A4 and Volvo S40.

They don't like the handling unless you get stability control. They say the back end tends to slide out if you go too fast into a corner and let off the gas.

Check it out!

SVX, WRX and now the LEGACY.
The Legacy did good against the Acura TSX in the Road & Track mag. Oct. Issue.
I hope Subaru will bring a coupe in 2006.

I got to test drive 2005 Legacy 2.5GT, 5spd today! It's broken in after 1500 miles and belongs to a co-worker. This is a very nice car for the money. This car is quick in first and second gears and pushed me into the back seat. Tubo LAG? What turbo lag? How did they do that? It is fun!
I think this car has all the latest and greatest options as standard equipment. Sort of like the SVX did in 1992. But it's not for me. Too high off the ground and I'll never get used to the funny looking windows. Where's that rubber strip that's supposed to be in the windows? Beside that a new car isn't in my budget. If I could NOT fix or find or get another SVX I would most likely get this GT. I really think this will be another solid Subaru. Good move on there part using the STi small block and other parts but only at 250 hp.

i'm glad this thread has been resurrected. i have found a better seat position so i withdraw my original comment.
