I currently own a '95 Legacy wagon and am ready for a new vehicle.
I've driven both the 2005 Legacy and a 2004 Forester and besides the general reasons we all like Subarus, each has their own strong points:
'05 Legacy: Excellent build quality. A car-like driving experience, very nice design.
'04 Forester: Higher ride, more SUV-like, super visability, great deals available right now.
Weaknesses:
'05 Legacy: Price is pretty high, and it doesn't appear you could put in an aftermarket stereo (I like my MP3s), you can't get a moonroof without the big-bucks leather package.
'04 Forester: I heard some rattles on the car I test drove, ride quality isn't quite as good as the '05 Legacy,
Has anybody else done a comparison? What do you think?
