every time I use my 9-5 wagon I'm impressed by the thought that went into the design, the little touches that make my life easier, how much STUFF I can load and how easy it is to get it in and out, how much power 185hp really is when all the torque is there at low RPM, how easily DIY serviceable it really is, the way I naturally fit into the driver's seat and easily read the instruments and access the controls. I never have to fiddle with stuff - I leave the seat in one position, steering in one position, ACC set to auto.
I really like my 9-5 - practical and fun to drive. It does get a little cumbersome around corners with the FWD and front weight bias but that little 4 really wakes it up when necessary.
Now if they could just fix those cupholders......
