I love my Legacy as much as my Eclipse.
Pros:
Beautiful paint. Amazing pick up.Great handling.Lush interior. Safety features. Short throw shifter.
Options galore.
Cons:
Headlamps are unusual. Soft brakes.Expensive, but it lists for $31,000 & I purchased for $28,000.

Author's Review
I've been driving eclipses since 1990. Had two, adored them both. But when I needed a replacement, I found that the third generation mitsu isn't all that. The nearest replacement I could find was the 2005 Legacy Ltd., because of the turbo, leather seating, all wheel drive and ABS.
The car is an animal, the turbo is smoother than my 2nd gen mitsu and the engine kicks it in a lot quicker. The handling is less tight than the mitsu, but I am getting used to it quickly.
The interior is gorgeous, but the beige rugs, I don't know. I found out after my purchase that there is also a black interior option.
My only negative is the new style headlamp; there is no gray area, just light to sudden black. This puts a straight black line right across your line of vision. Try to do a test drive a night, and away from town lights.
Finally the color: a medium dark, soft metallic blue. Much finer paint than ANY other car I test drove. Drive it, you'll love it too.
