I just meant that I personally found that the 9-5 gives better roadholding and comfort on long journeys. I really enjoyed my 3 9000 SAABs. They were great cars and the hatchback was a real boon - but I honestly feel that having lived with both vehicles that the 9-5 is an improvement. Heck it's only my opinion - there's room for supporters of both models. I'm in both supporters clubs.
