Nice car Mate.
But as for yr Power/boost question I'm thinking you've discoveredthat the errr... Power has been significantly reduced
Recently wentto test a New Saab Wife was looking to replace her Saab of many years.. Testted one at the dealers.. Same Dour interior, same or possibly worse rear/side vision..But the Power/Boost was woefully lacking.. Got angry and asked to try another example, assuming the first was pre-damaged.. same thing.. Darned car just starts to go.. and that's it!
Compared to the pesky Son's old and slightly shabby (hey it's Kid's Car;-)
but it Boosts right to the exact middle of Red and holds there to redline in 5th even if one was silly enough to try.. don't ask :-)
And this is an OLD car.
The New Saab was simply underpowered as it got to 'mebe' the begining of Red..Dunno about yer experiences but there are HUGE thrill differences between begining of Red and the Middle.
This lack of Power was embarassing, given the pedigree and the Ahem!! Price.
That ended our thougyt of buying another new Saab right then and there.
Check out the Competition.. Honda Accords come with 240 hp, Nissan Pathfinders with 270! fer Gawds sake.. not to metion all the other 'performance' cars out there.at the SAME price.
