Compared V70R & Aero SW -my thoughts

First off, I loved the V70R. The electric blue sport seats were the best of any seat I've ever sat in. The 6 speed seemed tempermental to drive, but it flat out moved. I loved the adjustable suspension. I bought an Aero wagon for the following reasons.
1. there were no used V70R's at the time and they were getting sticker plus change for them
2. Saab seemed much ligher on its feet. Steering.
3. In Colorado I would likely only need AWD 3 times a year and I've never been stuck in FWD with good snow tires.
4. The Saab with a 5 speed has torque numbers that are not far from the Volvo's and with another few hundered $ It could easily run along side the V70
5. Wagon has much better utility in the Saab-cargo shelf, cargo tracks, etc..
6. I didn't know how in the world I could live without NIGHTPANEL.
So I bought a used areo SW with 16K miles for half the cost of a V70 and I don't regret it.
Good luck, they are both great cars.
