I got one as a loaner when my Saab went in for service and it had trouble accelerating, then it broke down wile I was driving through a parking lot, first time I have ever been stranded by a car. It did not seem that comfortable, I just really did not like the car, It was a 99' 9-5 SE and I would never want that car. On a lighter note I did get a another 9-5 base right after that was a base trim and it was fine, I thought it was not a good engine match with an AT but hey some people don't care. I do not like the Autos they just seem very Japanese like, they are to willing to throw themselves into lower gears when you don't want them to. But I still think that they are very pretty cars, and I think that I was just unlucky with the first one. I would rather have a new Volvo, I really like the way they drive and we have one and it is a great car, no troubles.
