Need an Honest Opintion! Posted by Amber [Email] (more from Amber) on Mon, 16 Apr 2001 17:32:21

I am planning on joining the Saab family in the next 2 weeks... After extensive research i chose the Saab 9-5 SE over Audi (1.8T), BMW (3 series), and volvo. I have a quick question: Automatic or Manual trans? I only have a 4 mile commute to work and drive a manual right now. I was thinking about getting the automatic for a change but after reading what everyone has posted, i'm feeling like i should get the manual. Any feedback would be appreciated. Also, I'm in northern VA, what kind of price should i pay? My dealer says that the TMV on Edmunds (26,493) is very low and i would never get that here. Thanks!
