Roger, I owned the same car except with the V6. I also found the ACC to be most annoying. It never seemed to deliver a comfortable temp. I really prefer the manual controls on my other older Saabs. You can easily put ouside air into the car. Know what else I found really annoying about that car? That damn single delayed swipe of the wipers after the washers were used. I used to refer to it as the "Auto Smear" feature. Ever try clearing the window while driving on damp roads with a car in front of you? Whoever came up with that one should be fired. Tim.
