Agreed...
I sold my 1994 Volvo 850 sedan last year to get my 2003 Aero. I loved my volvo...had almost 90k on it, never once had any sort of problem...was comfortable and built like a brick sh*t house. In fact, there's lots of things about that car that seemed more solid than my Aero. BUT....if you did not have a running start, you were not gettin up mountain roads much more than 50mph here in Colorado. When I take people up the mountains in my Aero, they do not believe it's a 4cyl. Nothing like going uphill at 10k+ feet and still accelerating w/o a problem.
Now...I've seen posts on here of people complaining about power loss at 5k+ feet....I live at 5500ft....moving back east to CT in a few months and I can't wait to see what kind of power this car really has at sea level.
