Brenda, congratulations! Rob M.
Brenda- Hey congratulations! I hope you don't talk as fast as you type, otherwise husband-to-be won't get a word in edgewise :(o)
Jim- Congratulations on the new Legacy GT!
-Frank
Brenda, how 'bout some pics of those sparklers (and their respective Subies)? ;-)
-Brian
I just bought a '05 Legacy GT Limited MT 5 days ago and would love to be a part of any discussion and learn from other people's wisdom about these cars. I've been very happy with mine over these few days. I had a '98 legacy wagon and I must say this car is in a whole different category! Did I already say I love this car? It really is a great car!
Jim, my trip computer says I'm getting a little over 21 mpg with my five speed, mostly in town driving up and down a lot of hills. I am keeping the rpms low while I'm breaking it in though.
Hope to get to know everyone more!
tom
in fact it's so low, I have to ask.. and yes this will be a dumb question.
but how are you computing the MPG?
~c
You sure you got a full tank when you picked up the car?
You've only gotten 60 miles into the break-in so I'm assuming the 15.9 mpg number is from your very first fill up and you didn't get a full tank when you picked up the car.

And congrats to the new owners!

Pat - As has been mentioned, her vision problems may very well be temporary. It will take time, but with all of the support she has I'm sure she'll be OK. Keeping her in my thoughts, and you as well.

Glad to hear Ann Marie is feeling better; here's adding prayers that her eye sight improves with time.
Brenda- Congrats to the two of you!
Congrats (and jealous looks) to the new owners:-)

Her stamina is also improving, her lung function is still impaired, but they have told it will be a long recovery and she may have lung impairment, she was a smoker but has now quit hopefully for good, she is aware that smoking is now a no go.
Brenda, gongratulations on the impending nuptuals.
We have just set up a computer at the apartment but the hardrive is full, we have highspeed but the drive is so full it is slower than dial up, a lot of stuff will have to conme off for it to operate properly.
Cheers Pat.
I still view all of this as a very positive outcome. God bless you and your family, Pat.

I have made some posts under 2005+ legacy/outback. I got a silver 5sp sedan, spoiler (I didn't really want it- but my kid wanted it and it was the only one the dealer had), compass mirror, and alarm upgrade. The car has been great and I've been waiting to get through the break in period so I can see what it can really do. It's very comfortable when just cruising, but it's nice to know you have power (alot!) on tap at any time if you need to dart into a break in traffic!
This is my second 'Subie', my first was a '98 legacy wagon, which was a great car too. This one's much more refined and solidly built. I had a Passat wagon, and I would say the build is comparable, although the Legacy feel's more substantial. Of course, I had a lot of problems with my Passat, and am much happier to have a Subie again!
Thanks again everyone.
Pat, it's being studied that people who are being prayed for do better, and the data seems to be proving this to be true. I pray she does well. God Bless

Jeeze, give credit where it's deserved. :-P

Welcome! You'll catch on to all of those questions soon enough.

Congrats!

My mpg was around 20, with playing around, but I was going by the display gauges, not an actual true test. From what I understand, that is not really accurate in the beginning. Time will tell. Now - if only I can get one for my next tests vehicle.
The seating was very comfortable. I'm thinking that the area under the seat was closed off for a reason. In checking a few things out, I found that some folks where knocking connections loose for the seat air-bags by feet and other items getting crammed under there. This is not an "official" SOA comment, just a personal observation. My son fit okay in the back, but noticed the inability to put his size 13's under the seat as he does now in my Forester.
This car has such a nice, smooth ride. It feels like a different car than the last OB I drove.
Maybe my husband won't buy the Forester I'm driving? He loves this one, but...

So there I was last week doing 36 in a 30 zone on Lincoln Ave. when I see this blonde pointing a radar gun at me. I'm sure they clocked dozens of cars that day but guess which one got shown on TV first. So if you have a Sonic Yellow (YWRX) watch out!

The only downside to a new car is that I'd have to baby it for a couple years. Right now, my Bean is well worn in and I like not having to worry about it. For instance, I got a bunch of lumber and cinder blocks in the Bean this weekend, and would not feel right about doing that with a new XT!
Craig
thanks for all the nice wishes folks ...
Brenda: wow, congrats! Does he pass your 100 word-per-minute typing test? :-)
Jim, Tom: congrats on the new cars, and welcome to the Crew! It's a fun group that's been around for 5 years or so, weekly chat and all...
Patti: XT? Hmm, send it down to me for important testing. Long-term testing. In fact, make that permanent testing. ;-)

let's put it this way ... he typed well enough when I met him online that I moved here from Texas four years ago!

Hey Dave,
Way back....... Sorry, but failure to be specific! Anyhow, you're just jealous 'cause she likes me better! ;-)
She once invited me to sleep in her guestroom. Did she make you a similar offer????

On a related note, the specs note a similar setup for the Outback XT (manual CC) and XT Ltd (auto D-Z CC). Is there an error here too?? I can do without leather and a moonroof, but would like to get that auto D-Z CC system in a regular Outback XT.
Craig
Tom welcome to the crew and thanks for the positive comments Re my daughter.
Cheers Pat.
