Are there heated seats of the US version?
Check if there are buttons anywhere near the seats.
If the springs are "pink" (an typical upgrade of 04 owners maybe we get them on the 05's)
Thanks again.

Regards

Nick

Hey Sloppyjoe thanks for the great pics.

Now I just have to keep repeating to myself:

Legacy Wagon
Legacy Wagon

I'm tempted. By these pics. Hopefully there isn't a lot of mechanical changes or I might be driving an STI instead of the new Legacy.

(Good thing, this wasn't pictures of an STI wagon)

for weight if you could also open the driver door and take a pic of the label on the door jamb or on the frame that lists the weight and stuff, that would help too ^_^

Bolt pattern change is nice, now you can use a ton of different wheels (although still with high offsets )

Thanks Sloppyjoe for the pics!
It looks like if I want a wider rear fender, I will need to buy a new rear bumper too...

thanks for the pics it gave me insight into waiting for the '05s or getting an '04.

that would really mess up people like Rota and Prodrive who are making wheels that will fit only Subarus. For the new consumer it's great though cause a 5x114.3 bolt pattern is much more common of course there is also offset to worry about too. Then again if you had your mind set on a set of Rotas or Prodrives etc from seeing other WRXs than that sucks.
