I liked the shape and space of the type 4 models, they were very advanced for their time. There is a world of difference in build quality between the cars; the Croma weighed 1100 Kg, the 9000 1400 Kg. The 9000 needs the LPT turbo to match the Croma, but it feels much more solid. After 9 years the 9000 still feels like a new car, whereas the Croma was nearer the end of its useful life. Johannes
