Hello to everyone,
I am new to Saab and the list, very impressed by both. I am coming from mercedes and BMW cars and with 6K miles on my saab still having problems with smooth shifts. I have been driving sticks for over 20 years so I feel I am a good shifter. I find the 1st to 2nd shift always difficult to do smoothly. If I pause to let RPMs drop on the way to 2nd its smoother but then the turbo spinsdown and there is a lull in the subsequent accelaration. Also there is a lot of force taken up by the drivetrain when getting back on the gas and it produces a thud. Previous german cars I had did this with high miles and worn flex disks on the drive shafts. This thud worries me
Also the wheel bolt faces are rusting real bad ???? I have seen black plastic covers at the dealer but then you are just covering up the rust, trapping salt and water and making it worst? any ideas?
BTW its a linear with all options, xenon, 16's, sunroof, 300watt radio...and lots of rattles-this is the part I don't like, oh well its a blast to drive.
