> Well, I do not want to leave you guys on a sour note but we felt the > 9-5 wagon was too big! Different strokes, I guess. I just got a 2002 5sp 9-5 Aero wagon, and I wish it was BIGGER. The front-seat headroom is good (I'm 6'4" tall) but the back seat is DEFINITELY tighter than the back seat of my '88 9000T, '89 900, and '86 900T. I'm not convinced the cargo space is as large as those cars (all hatchbacks) either. One major problem: in order to fold down the rear seatbacks for maximum cargo space, the front driver's seat has to go WAY WAY forward. I literally cannot drive the car with the back seat folded down -- I can barely jockey my legs under the console with the seat that far forward. It's a combination of limited back-seat room, the bulgy shape of the underside of the folded-up seat bottom, and the apparently non-removable headrest on the back seat. Is there any way to fold down the back seat without shortening my legs?? Thanks, Gary
