Don't dis the slushbox based on that...

...having driven an auto 9-5 base loaner and owning an auto 9-3, I can tell you that most of the performance difference is the 9-5's problem. I found it unbearably slow compared to mine, absolutely none of the turbo feel I'm used to. Isn't it a 6-cyl 170hp engine? That's what the tag on my loaner said if I remember.
Definitely nice refinement in that car. However, did you find that you liked the wood paneled dash? I have to say that that's the only reason I'd need NOT to buy a 9-5. Just plain ugly in my opinion. Plus when the sun hits it, that shiny surface blinds you!
