2005 Subaru Legacy/Outback online review linksUpdated Thursday, June 16, 2005
Click here for the latest Outback links (or scroll down). NEW -- Here are some pictures I took of my new Subie! (including some of my iPod setup). Here are a few recent 2005 Legacy/Outback reviews I have discovered online. I have found them helpful in some ways, even though there are always conflicting opinions. Most are from formal publications, but a few are from user groups or individuals. Some may require a login scheme to access, and others will likely contain advertisements (aren't we used to that by now ? :) Please feel free to email other resources or updates you may have found to me as well -- either online or in print form. I will update these as necessary. As more new models show up at dealers, there will likely be more reviews published. The more information, the easier the choice is! Enjoy! -km- Email: kamartin_no_spam@cox.net (remove the "_no_spam" before sending :-)
