Re: Have you tried driving a 9-5 Aero? n/m Posted by John Fitzgerald [Email] (#77) [Profile/Gallery] (more from John Fitzgerald) on Thu, 16 Nov 2000 00:45:04 In Reply to: Have you tried driving a 9-5 Aero? n/m, AdamB [Profile/Gallery] , Wed, 15 Nov 2000 19:54:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
No, but the price and limited supply of used ones (new= mission impossible) make this a non-reality for at least a couple of years. Are they that much better than the 9-5? The 9-5 seems much smaller inside and the trunk, even with a pass through seat, seems smallish as well as the rear seat. Road noise and ride on a rough road (in a used 99 9-5) felt as bad or worse than my 87 9000T w/ 147k on it. Doesn't make sense to me. Felt like a big upgrade for the 900 owners who didn't like the shrinking 900NG/9-3 but a step down, in many respects, from the 9000T's I own & have owned.
