I just ended an 8yr relationship w/ a VW Jetta GLX VR6 1997 160k- originally bought brand new. An enjoyable car w/ no overall issues except for infamous window motor problems (evil). what did I gravitate too? My new purchase was an 06 9-3 Aero SS, Auto, Nocturne blue w/ Slate gray/Touring - my first Automatic too, I literally lost sleep deciding on the Automatic. boy I am glad I chose the auto! Fast acceleration, great handling, and powerful torque w/out the shift and much more relaxing in LA traffic. took a San Fran drive last week and had a ball blasting past cars and trucks on the 5 freeway in manual mode - paddle downshift and boom = me in front! I must confess I wanted to be practical in this new car purchase. Did all the research and it came down to the Acura TL (over-glorified appliance) and the Saab 9-3(yes, CR did not scare me.) Went Saab for pleasure of driving, visual appeal, and most importantly, the safety of my 4yr old daughter. There is some GM-ification I could snivel about (some of the interior plastics seem like a typical GM short cut) but overall I love the car. good luck!
