So while it isn't quite the armchair luxury ride but with response that the 900 was, it is definatley a better than most, sports car. the seats are firm and hugging. Almost as comfy as the Saab, but with better holding and a position that suits me better. I actually found the 9000 seats in the CDE LPT that I had on loan once fitted me and positioned me better than in the 900. The trim is actually a nice mix of cloth and Vinyl (Similar standard to the 900) rather than the modern cheap hard plastic, with some loverly swoopy curves too. I don't think it would suit a wood trim, but very nice all the same. I wish I could have kept the 900 as well as the Celica, but I didn't have room for both. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
