Hi.
Just anudder POV to add to the pile.....

Many, many moons ago, I got my 1st Saab - a 99, and
the buddy selling it to me said: "This is the mandatory
Saab warning that I have to give you, whether you believe
it, or not is irrelevant - but it is this: Once you have
driven your own Saab, you will never, ever be completely
comfortable in any other car again." I scoffed at him...

After my 3rd successive 99, I had to get a commuter car
for my distant job - and proceeded to drive Toyota Camry
(several, actually) for 10 years.
I always missed my Saab !!!
Yes, they were comfy (sort of...), and had real good a/c,
and reliable as could be (except the damn front pipe and
timing belt - I got good at fixing them !) - but they
weren't a SAAB !!!
Too light, too tinny, not enough zip, didn't hug the road,
(or the driver) - just not good enough - phooey.

Finally, I got a 900S - I was in heaven !!!
Then a mechanic talked me into a 9KT - and I am now on my
4th (and best) one of them - and my only fear is what may
happen when all the 80's 9KTs have gone away - I will be
very, very sad I think - but until then - I have the best,
sturdiest, most comfortable ride on Earth.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it !!
