I have two comments to make (as an Aero owner) - although they may be too late. 1. The Aero comes with lowered suspension, larger brakes and TCS and from my driving experience, I would say that all of these are important with the higher engine output - particularly the TCS, the Aero is quite jittery under heavy acceleration - particularly in wet conditions - and although I am reasonably cautious driver, the TCS has cut in on two or three occasions. Some of the reviews I read said that it ought to be fitted as standard on all the 9-5s 2. Be careful about non-standard mods to the standard spec (I am not sure whether adding the performance chips counts as a non-standard mod but I don't remember seeing it as one of the upgrade options). It can affect both your warranty and your insurance cover. > The equipment level in this SE is exactly what I wanted (AS3, HFS, Driver > Pack) You can get these as upgrades to the Aero (although I am not sure what HFS is).
