New to SAAB, 1st post.

Hi all,
I'm new here and to SAAB. Just bought my first SAAB... a certified, 2000, Imola red, 9-5 Aero Wagon, w/ stick.
Overall I'm very happy and impressed with the car. However, I would like to improve (subjective on my part) the handling. I came from a 97' VW Passat TDI, and was an avid member of the http://www.tdiclub.com. My Passat had Bilstein TC's and a strut tower tie bar. I felt even with 150K miles, that the Passat had a more precise (crisp) feel for the road. The SAAB even with it's 225/45/17's and Aero suspension, feels as though there is too much power assist, at all speeds. I'm wondering if that's a GM thing? Cause I drove an older SAAB 900 and I did not get that impression.
Overall the SAAB is a more refined car in many respects. Perhap's too refined?
Any thoughts?
