Just picked up a very nice 2005 9-5 Arc Wagon. Lots of miles, but out of the rust belt until now. This is my first 9-5, but likely not for long. Wife and I have been driving 9000s -mine CSE, her's Aero. We love these cars, but mine lost oil pressure for some unknown reason, and assuming the engine is trashed, though it runs great. So I was forced to do something, and it has taken over a month to move on.
Picked up a light green/silver wagon in Atlanta GA yesterday after lots of internet work -who bought my black Aero in NYC with the manual?-. Drove it home to Toledo OH yesterday. It is a comfortable well mannered car that loves the xway and 11hrs of driving did not seem all that long.
I need to get used to the car, but my first impressions are mixed. I miss the manual. Though comfy, the ride is almost too soft, and my CSE was much better at cornering, the Aero is not even a comparison. Car is noticably skinnier but I'm not feeling too cramped. Better seat. Think I'll like the wagon, but still like the hatch. 30mpg+ on the trip home with AC running, and speeds of 75-80.
Wife likes the 9-5, so we'll likely be looking for an Aero for her and selling her 9kAero. Nice to be able to trade parts....
Looking forward to reading more on this board and getting to know you.
