why in the world, may i ask, would you get the automatic? the 2.3 has the option of a manual tranny. i drive a 9-5 2.3 auto only because my mother (lol she owns the car im 16) didnt want to deal with the stickshift in crazy atlanta traffic. still no excuse! anyway. the 2.3
9-5 is brisk even with the auto. you got to learn a few things about the car. sometimes it feels god awful slow sometimes realy quick, i think thats the nature of turbo cars i dont know thugh. if you give it gas to quickly, it will give you nearly nothing in return. if you are very progressive with throttle application, you can light up the 215/55 tires pretty quickly. and having a good helping of 93oct gas in the tank helps matters tremendously its a good engine in a good car go buy it, if you get the manual its even twice as good. if i had the manual ide be shifting it at no more than 4500rpm cause ALL the power is incredably low in the rpm range, which is better if you ask me.
