I've owned a lot of cars, several of them SAAB's. There is a place for auto's and a place for manuals. I've done commutes that took an hour to go 20 miles and one that took 45 min to go 52 miles. The long commute was best with a manual tranny and the short commute was best with an auto. Remember, the auto tranny in the SAAB 9k is a direct overdrive (as if that makes sense to the uninformed)and the only loss in it is to run the oil pump when up to speed. How many of us can always pick the right shift point. My auto tranny SAAB may be a slow-poke coming off the light but is darn nice on the freeway when I want to pass one of the everyday cars I always seem to go around. In town, In the mood, I'll drive the manual turbo car. On The long ride (and I've done 56 hours straight) I'll take the auto.
