About the TL

Don't get me wrong, the TL is a fine machine, well put together (although it had rattles - I think the car's structural integrity was not quite up to the really stiff suspension), nice finish and just a ton of features that would cost you $10K more on a BMW. My biggest gripe was that, for me, it was just not a fun car to drive. Its handling comes nowhere near the Saab's and I just felt the TL was unbalanced. Even though the TL carries 265hp vs. the 210hp for the 9-3 2.0T, the feeling of acceleration between the two cars is different somehow (I'm still trying to figure this one out). The bottom line here is, if you want all the creature comforts, whiz-bang features, high reliability and high resale value, buy the TL. If you want to have some fun when you get behind the wheel without sacrificing a whole lot in the features department, get the Saab. By the way, a couple of features my Saab has that the TL doesn't are the parking assistance and the rain-sensing wipers, and I'm loving them.
