(from another set of owner perspectives)

My #3 daughter came home yesterday with a new '05 Legacy GT!  MTX!

Seems like a great car, eventhough I only drove it just a few miles.

Seems like it has a whole lot more punch than my '95MTX.  More than 
30 horses worth.

She is still trying to get the clutch right, having come from a '96 
MTX Altima.

regards, Jim White
