I am usually the passenger, and have a slightly biased opinion because I have only driven Saabs (3) for the past 15 years. On the other hand, my husband has only driven Acuras (3) for the same amount of time. The TL is a nice car, the first of three Acuras that I actually like because it has a very tight suspension, but still not as nice as my Aero ;-) We have always taken the Saab on long trips, because of safety, comfort, and versatility. The TL is a good commuter car, with a small trunk, the best Acura seats yet, but still not as comfortable as any Saab. We don't have navigation. As far as rattles, yes, there is a vibration in the upper console in front of the sunroof, it is about as annoying as my cup holder rattle :-(

The TL suspension will feel very different than your '99 9-5. As an example, I think my husband would have liked the '02 Arc (6 cyl, softer ride). He wanted the new TL long before he ever drove one, but I don't think he will ever get used to the tight bumpy ride. He just returned from a 9 hour round trip and reported that the car is fun to drive, but very unforgiving on rough surfaces, including the highway. From experience, the Acura will probaby prove to be a bit more reliable than the Saab, as is true in general when comparing Japanese and European cars.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Good Luck,
AeroLady
'02 Aero SW
