<< >I am seriously considering purchasing a 9000 or 9-5. The car is for my >wife, so the transmission will be automatic. ;-( >> The 9000 auto is not a very good transmission, but Saab has finally gotten it right with the 9-5, so it would be a good choice for your wife. The 9-5 has a softer ride, and the safety is even better than the 9000. The European crash test rate it higher than Mercedes Benz. A dealer friend of mine tells me that dyed in the wool 9000 manual transmission drivers like their 9-5 automatics. << Actually, my 9000 has a really comfy ride. It handles bumps and the such with surprising absorbtion considering how well it handles around corners. >> The 9000 Aero rides like a slot car racer. The new 9-5 Aero has a much better ride. Enjoy.
