My wife had a 900 SE Convert which she loved but alas she started selling wine and could only get two cases in the trunk. So we were looking at a 9-3 hatchback when she saw the 9-5 and fell in love with the cup holder. It's been a great car - 7500 miles in three months - with but one niggling little problem - the seat program seems able to retain driver preferences for perhaps a week. Of course when we take it to the dealer, it remembers both our settings. Has anyone else experienced this? Oh, I don't care for the sliding arm rest. Everytime I rest my elbow on it, the thing slides forward. And fortunately we were able to get rid of the mickey mouse passenger side mirror 'though it did take the dealership awhile to figure out how to change it out.
