Okay, first off: Thanks for the welcome. This is my 4th Subaru and I'm coming out of an Audi A4.
Secondly: I wasn't asking for opinions on seatbelt use. I always wear mine. I just don't need to be reminded like a 4 year old girl to put it on.
Thirdly: I don't know if this is a new "feature" for 2005, but if it isn't surely there are some of you that would like to axe it as well.
Fourthly: No you can't drive it. It's mine.
