The automatics in the 9000's are much better than the old style 900. They are prone to failure around 100,000 plus, but that's not all that unusual even amoung other European brands either. How they are taken care of and driven makes a big difference. A big part of the problem is that the turbo puts out so much torque--there aren't many autos that would stand up to it for long. I have a 91 non-torbo with 140,000 and still no trans problems(knock on wood). This site tends to appeal to folks who drive their cars pretty hard--so the trans failure rate might seem high. Either get a stick if that's what you like or find an auto that's been rebuilt already,
