Hi, In the past I have been lucky enough to be given a car by my employer, but with changing circumstances have decided to buy instead when my current BMW 3-series touring (not sure I should admit to this having seen other postings in the NG!) is due for renewal next month. I'm keen on the 9-5 saloon, especially as they seem to be great value second hand here in the UK (especially when compared with, say a 5-series or a Audi A6). I drove a 2.0lpt briefly today, and was impressed, although since I'm also looking to part-exchange a 250bhp Porsche 944 Turbo, I'm tempted to look at an Aero too. I have read and heard from friends that the handling of the 9-5 is a bit unwieldy when pushed hard - any views? Regards James Johns, York UK
