Ok, Sounds like your in the US from your preference towards Auto gearboxes (transmission). My advice, as an 18 year old Saab 900i (quite heavily modded, gas flowed head, uprated suspension etc.) driver don't get an Auto, if you have to do, but remember that the Auto box robs you of a lot of power and performance, I know that personaly I like the control a manual box gives me, but thats just because I like being able to engine break down from silly speeds (110+) on slippy roads as I know that even I can't lock up the wheels when engine breaking. As for insurance, have a good job, I'm paying £2207 at the moment, although Adrian Flux have qouted £1700 for next year, but thats before the Nitros Injection goes on.
