9-5 Aero for me

I too was initially looking at the 9-3 models when I started car shopping but coming from a Honda Civic I wanted something with more room. I got suckered over to the 9-5 side based mostly on the space. Especially the back seat space. We have a a little one running around and when we periodically take long trips to see grandma and grandpa, my wife will sit in back to keep the little guy company. That was enough to push me over to the larger car, not to mention it's much quiter on the highway...any very plush!
I've only had my 04 9-5 AERO for a short time...but it's great. Tons of power.
As for the gear box...that's a personal call. I too read the auto was the preferred tranny in the Aero and was succumbing to the idea I'd end up with an Auto (esp. since 5sp are hard to find). I did however manage to find a 5sp and found it was a lot more fun than the auto for me. The auto was great...just not for me.
just my $0.02.
Good luck!
