Dear Mr. sph3re, how do you like your 9-5??

Greetings, Mr. sph3re!
I read a month or so ago that you'd bought a 9-5 to replace your 900SET.
How are you enjoying the new one?
How would you compare the handling... is the 9-5 as "nimble" and maneuverable as the 900?
And what about acceleration? You're pulling more pounds with fewer horsepower.
Is there a marked improvement in the ride? Is it worth any sacrifices in the above areas?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm about to pass my 1996 900s on to my daughter. I've been wondering whether a 9-5 would be a better choice than a 9-3. My daily commute is 95 miles, 80% freeway. Fuel consumption, therefore is important, but so is a comfortable ride.
I've enjoyed the compact size of the 900, but the ride can be a bit harsh.
I'd appreciate your comments, as well as those of any other readers.
Thanks in advance, and best regards,
Dave
