These complement my Saab 9-5 Aero wagon and 9-3 Aero convertible well. Unfortunately, I'm not too thrilled with my convertible and am trading it in on a BMW 335i convertible next month. I made the mistake of driving the 335i and it made me realize that I'm disappointed with the 9-3 vert from a build quality perspective (particularly the creaky interior plastics and the leather quality). Just my opinion....it's also a 6 speed manual and is my daily driver in Los Angeles. That was a bit of a mistake to begin with! (the tranny, that is).
I love my '03 9-5 Aero wagon...one of the best all around cars I've ever owned. The Alfa and Peugeot are both unique and have that late '80's, early '90's light(er) weight sport sedan vibe that I just love and I've restored them to as new conditiion. Both are different in their own special ways. The Peugeot is a high revving 2700 lb handler, agressive engine noise, and fantastic seats, that also gets low to mid 30s on the highway. The Alfa has that wonderful V6, rich leather interior (that still smells new today!) and a nice direct 5 speed manual transmission that is very easy to drive smoothly. Being Alfa red and in almost showroom condition, it attracts a lot of stares from folks. A definite keeper!
They will also help counteract the commonness of the 335i convertible in LA.
Cheers,
Paul H.
