When I bought my 2005 Legacy it was in 2008 and I had to choose between it (18.5k), a 2004 G35 (Auto, $20k) and a 2007 G35 (2-door manual, $27k) I wanted AWD and stick, but the G35x/G37x doesn't come in stick. I HATE autos with a passion, so I went with the Legacy. Right after I bought it they took it back for a day to complete some final repairs per the sales contract - and they gave me a brand new G35x as a loaner for the day. And I didn't like it. The acceleration lurched and the brakes were too grabby. After a couple miles my passengers were feeling sick. If they made a 4-door G37x in stick and fixed the grabby brakes then I'd be interested. The Legacy GT is rumored to be going away - plus the 2010-model is really not sitting well with fans of the 2005-2009 style. I think I have to look after this car for a while because I may not be able to replace it.
