Its only flaw was that it was an automatic, and the ZF-made automatic is not durable. Then I had a couple of non-SAABs, and now I have an '02 9-5 Aero 5-speed. SAAB did a great job with these; the ride is not too stiff, it's just right! Perfect blend of performance and luxury. I prefer driving this car on long trips over the current BMW 5-series, which is a bit cramped. Jason
