Subject: Re: Just ordered 9-5


Meanwhile, back at the topic... We (wife and i) test drove a 9-5 several weeks ago.she's had a BMW 318 for 3 years and luuuvvssss the way it handles. She liked the way the 9-5 handled and found little difference between the 9-5 and BMW 328 we'd driven earlier in the day. My reaction was similar. ( Are front wheel drive vehicles inherently more stable?) There seems to be plenty of power(torque?). I let the revs drop as I was starting up a hill. At about 1200 rpm I hit the accelerator, fully expecting some hesitation. No hesitation at all!! The 2.3, with automatic, responded immediately and accelerated right up the slope. The cup holder is neat. I love the way it rotates down to the horizontal!! if the lease deals are alright we'll definitely get a 9-5.
