True... generally when thinking of family car, I think automatic, tho... But even so, for me, I dislike the sluggish feeling many cars get when loaded down with four people. Turbo for me... :) > The '98 900S 3 door is Turbo, which is cheaper than the regular non > turbo S. Unfortunately (bright marketing) it's only available in 3 > doors in S trim. Yeah... I really think that's no good. In the age of "sport sedans" I see no reason why Saab should limit the turbo S to a three door. Personally, if I was buying, I would definitely want a 5-door. Make the # of doors match the # of seats. -Justin
