Shawn says... > >In my experience I can say... that it CAN NOT handle the extra 25HP. I >have a 95 Aero (standard tranny) and my g/f has (had) a 95 CSE >(Automatic). She has gone through two tansmissions, two exhaust >"rebuilds" and it somehow bent something on the motor when it let go >the second time.. so SAAB put a new engine in it! They accused her of >driving it too hard! Although I don't know her or her driving style - "What a load of bull!" Saabs are meant to be driven hard, they love it - everyone I've owned has done just fine and I DO drive mine hard. >This is totally not the case in any way shape or form. I know. >She never drove it hard, and she rarely allowed me to drive it >(thats why I had the Aero). So it was babied. Maybe that was the problem. >Mine was, and still is, >driven hard everyday and I have had no problems. We were told again >and again, do not get the auto again!! I've been told this also, I prefer manual anyway so it doesn't bother me. >We were so tired of this,that we traded it in on a RAV4. No offense, but...E-w-w-w! I'd hate to hit anything going over 25mph in one of those things. >The auto (at least in 1995) could not >handle the little 2.3 LPT engine. Maybe since the General has taken >over, they have a handle on the tranny situation, but dont hold your >breath! I won't. ~J~
