I had to sell it to move to the city and when I returned to rural life again opted for a 4 door 900, since the 9000s I saw were all too expensive. Although it's a pretty beast, hardly a day passes that I don't miss the 9000. The difference in terms of luxury is remarkable. The 9000 hatchback is an immense car with extremely comfortable seats. There are all kinds of gizmos that I enjoyed which, although quite unnecessary, made me feel pampered. I also loved the light that the moonroof let in, although being larger than the sunroof, it did tend to hum more when open. I don't mean to sound whiny - I love my current car - but the 9000 still has a place in my heart. Leigh
