Mike Lynch, help!
I am driving my second 9-5 Aero now. I went to Frankfurt last month and saw the 2006 9-5 and hate the new look (front and back). That, combined with a renewed craving for my old 900's hatch, is making me want the 9-3 SportCombi when my lease expires in a few months. However, with a 9-3 Aero I still have to give up some things that I have now in my 9-5 and I get worse mileage. If I drop back to the 2.0T, I get better mileage, but lose even more features (including memory seats).
Why is a 9-3 SportCombi Aero a good vehicle for someone who's come from a 9-5 Aero? Is the 2.8V6 turbo feeling really worth spending 19% more on gas than the 2.0T (comparison from specs on Saab Canada's site)? What features do I give up when moving down?
