Yes they did give me a packet containing the dealer history. Its amazing that Kitty Van Botel started out a few years ago with one car in the front yard and now is the third largest volume subaru dealer in the nation. Don |

I just noticed that when the fuel gauge is low, the red ring around the gauge blinks when first starting up. Nice touch. I also noticed when it rained here the wiper blade arms are quite sturdy- more like a BMW or Mercedes. Should work very well in heavy rain or snow or at high speeds. Does anyone know if the WRX aluminum pedal covers will fit the Legacy? I'd rather not have the silver and red STi ones. They also don't come with the dead pedal cover, which would also be nice. tom |

If the blanket 3/35 free service for 05 Leg/Out is true, then SOA really listens to us. Wow, maybe?

Ken or anybody else with a new 05 -- can you post a picture of the subwoofer? I'd like to see how it looks compared to the sub in my WRX. If they are the same, I will just move the sub over from the WRX instead of getting a new one. thanks, Craig |

Could be a Carlsen-only thing. It would be a great move (and a quick one) if Subaru addressed the coupon issue. Fitzgerald here in MD offers 6 free oil changes over the first 3 years. -juice |

I just traded in a 2001 BMW X5 3.0 for a 2005 Outback 2.5XT. The only color available at the time was garnet red which wouldn't have been my first choice but it has grown on me. I seriously looked at new X5's but to get comparable performance you have to get the V8 which costs too much, in my opinion. I did not get the Limited variation although a gold one would have soon been available. With the X5 I found that here in New Mexico whenever I openened the sun roof (moon roof) I immediately closed it because of too much sun. The Outback is a lot of fun to drive. I have had trouble keeping the RPM's below 4000 during the breakin period--especially in sport mode (5EAT) but I back off as soon as a downshift occurs that causes it to rev too much. A friend of mine said, "You actually pay attention to that? I have 200,000 miles on my 1992 Legacy and I completely ignored it." The Michelin tires on the X5 were great and I believe I will buy some for the Outback in a year or so. I would expect better braking with that change. In general the fit and finish are excellent except that the lever for the lumbar support came loose. I was able to put it back but I expect the problem will return. Anyone else experience that? I don't see the blue wire and I do have the subwoofer.
