Along with test driving the C900 and the 9000, you really should sit in the back of a C900. The rear seats of a 9000 are very comfortable indeed, especially with those nice aeroplane reading lights :) The back seats of a C900 are just superb. There's a lot more head room than a 9000 and you really do have a much nicer sense of road isolation. It really is very comfortable indeed. In a C900 without gearbox whine, those rear seats are the nicest I've sat in (Jaguars excepted). Also, getting out of a C900 is nice. The cut-outs at the bottom of the front doors (2/3 door models) is a great feature that I've been very grateful for <--- Thanks Audi driving mate for pointing this out. I've thought long and hard about the merits of moving to a 9000 over another C900. I'm sure many others here have as well. Presumably, 9000 owners have thought about moving to the C900 in much the same way. I really do like the 9000s, but I've driven and been a front & back seat passenger in both 9000s and C900s - NA and turbo models. I'm definitely C900 guy - and the older the better. Hmm, there's me with a late '80s model ... Gimme a flat nose any day :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
