Having just test driven a '02 Aero prior to purchasing, I was really impressed with the 5 speed auto tranny. This from a guy who has generally refused to drive slushboxes much less pay for one since I started driving over 20 years ago. The car rags were dead on when they said the auto worked better with the 2.3T. And obviously, the breed has improved greatly. Shifts were damned near imperceptible in most driving and when going full tilt boogie, I was amazed to find the tranny in exactly the right gear with zero thought on my part. Tiptronic is horrible IMHO - I've driven the Audi, Acura, BMW and Mercedes flavors and they all suck. Piss poor substitute for rowing your own with no where near the control of an honest to God stick & clutch. My left knee (scoped twice so far) and urban traffic jams just make a manual a royal pain (literally). During my rare track time & empty roads, I still would rather shift 'em myself. But in the real world currently, give me a GOOD auto (which the Saab definitely has now). $0.02
