our '03 Linear SportWagon is a pretty nice car compared to my '96 9K. Maybe the newer ones have been softened up. I don't know.
The 9-5 feels quite different from my 9K and I like the 9K better, but the 9-5 does fine. I've had it on 13 hour trips with 4 people on board, on twisty back roads in Maine at extra-legal speeds, on dirt roads though the Maine woods and it does just fine. Steering is good, feels tight and secure. Good ride, comfortable.
Wonder what was changed between '03 and '05?
