Yesterday I bought a 1997 SAAB 9000 Aero with an automatic transmission. While I realize that the ideal vehicle would have had a 5 speed manual transmission, the car is immaculate ~ it was a one owner vehicle with only 64,000km. As a result, why does the automatic transmission receive such negative publicity among SAAB enthusiasts? Has this particular unit proven to be unreliable, or do driving 'purists' simply insist on a manual transmission. Perhaps I'm fortunate that there is still a one year factory warranty remaining.........
