Is there an echo in here?

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?

Karnofsky: Which dealer did your wife originally buy from? Did you end up buying right in Bangor? I'm in southern ME, and have been to all of the dealers down here, except for Bath. The worst so far seems to be Charlie's. The best was at AMD down in NH.i I still haven't bought, would really like an '05 but they're so much more dough than the '04s, I'm balking.
