Interesting thing

I drove both and preferred the 5-speed but have always driven 5-speeds. Just less boring. Though not for smokers who like to talk on the phone and drive at the same time.
Now the interesting thing:
I can't remember if other 5-speeds are like this but I noticed that if I put the 9-3 in 1st gear and lay off the clutch and gas, it will just drive around in first with no problem. I've tried this on fairly steep hills and also in second gear. No problem. Almost impossible to kill by not giving gas.
Can other 5-speeds do this? What allows the saab to do this?
