I loved it. Except for the power, I liked it WAY more than my 900t. It felt much more refined, handeled better, fit parking spaces better. When I started driving my 900t after its resurection, I offered my to buy it from my sis. She refused. Getting in the Saab after the 318ti was like boarding a long crate with wheels and lots of go power. The TI has a much better driving position. The drawback: lack of power. But, it feels faster than it is, and is GREAT around town or on twisties.
If you have the scratch, you CAN drop in an M3 engine of similar vintage, M3 Brakes, wheels, etc. Come to think of it, I may get one as my next car, as my Saab is tired and frustrating.
