Bonjour!
I have a 2004 9-5 aero wagon manual transmission that I appreciate every day. In a few worlds about aero or not :
Positive :
. vroummmm!!!
. Seats are wonderful
Negative :
. 17" wheels provide a very firm driving, particularly with the poor road condition found in Quebec
. 17" tires and break parts are more expensive
. The lower suspension is not very adapted to snow accumulation
. $$ at purchase
Comments :
. Downsize winter wheels to 16" is a good option (Nokian Hakka 5 + studs)
. Fuel consumption is similar on both cars options.
. Xenon??? I have them, but not sure if it is worth.
. Park assist : Often ice-jammed in winter, keep beeping while in reverse.
. Auto-dimming mirror : Appreciated.
Good luck,
Francois
