Ordered TSX after weeks of car searching...

I finally put in my deposity after weeks of debating between the new 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5Gt and the TSX. In the end, I chose the TSX over the Legacy for what I percieved to be superior value (i.e. 6 seed transmision, leather, moonroof, HID, power seats, etc.) and superior quality. Overall, after comparing the two cars, I found the TSX to have an advantage in just about every respect save for size, power and AWD. What really made my decision difficult was passing on the Subaru's 250HP and 250 lbs. ft. of torque.

I ordered the car from Ramsey Acura in NJ. Hopefully I will be getting a CG/Ebony 6-spd Non-Navi very soon.

I look forward to becoming a contributing member of this community!!!!

I was going to buy a subaru as well mainly for the AWD and power, but didn't feel like dealing with reliabilty after a couple of years...

The TSX is FWD and not AWD just to let you know

i think he meant "save" as in except, so the legacy has better power and AWD

Thanks for the welcomes.

As of now, I have only placed a deposit of $1K. The negotiated price is $25K (which includes destination) + $298 (document/registration) + 6% NJ tax. We agreed to 3.99% financing for 48 months. So out the door (purchase price + doc/reg fees + tax) , I am looking at $26,798.

p.s. I did use "save" instead of except. My wife is from oversees and they speek that weird english which must be rubbing off on me
