I don't loooove it, but its been an awesome car. Its a '96 900SE, auto. Its really fun to drive, 'specially in sport mode. Its quick and handles great. Its also been bulletproof in the reliability department, the only things I've replaced have been the DI (twice, but I'm used to that), radiator and ignition switch. Its never not started or left me stranded.
That said, I also own a '95 9000 Super CS (now FPT) which I think is a much better built car. The 900's chassis is so wiggly and rattly compared to the 9K. The interior of the 900 seems to be made out of horribly cheap materials, compared to the 9K (I know its not, but it truly is compared to the 9K!) The powertrain is much smoother in the 900, but is waaaayyy less powerful than the 9K. I also have issues with the visiblity in the 900, and I'm an average sized person.
As someone posted here once (I think here, mighta been the 9-3BB), when you sit in the 900/9-3, it seems like you're sitting on top of the chassis, but when you're in the 9000/9-5, its like you are a part of the car.
I'm not trying to diss the 900, which I really enjoy...the handling always puts this stupid grin on my face!! I'm just saying that compared to my 9000, its not as much as a car as it could be.
