I betcha' you haven't.. Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Mon, 1 Sep 2008 13:21:52 In Reply to: Re: Auto is great on 9-3.., RBatsch, Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:53:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I betcha' you haven't spent any time in one. These BB's are full of die hard stick fans who have been impressed and made happy with Aisin Warner autos.
Let's face it, Saabs are great cars but not known for the slickest stick shift linkages, rod and cable shifters, unlike say a BMW or a Miata where the stick sprouts out of the top of the gearbox. Whereas automatics in Saabs, even the older 4 speed Aisin Warners, the new ones are all 5 speed and even 6 speed, are world class.
So with a 9-5 for example, the stick is so-so but the auto is world class. Add in a little unavoidable city traffic and many fomerly "die hard stick" folks have made the transition successfully and happily.
