This brings up the issue of post-GM cars yet again. What are people's thoughts on the reliability of 93/94/95 cars? Are they as reliable and as well built as any other year, or do they really have some problems? Is it worth buying a '96, as opposed to a 94 or 95? P.S. The 9-3 may indeed have 1000 changes to it, but Saab, please give us back an analog clock for the driver. These digital clocks mounted in the radio are terrible. The whole idea of the Saab cockpit is to be able to get important info without looking away from the steering wheel area. I'm driving a car now that has a (dim) centre-mounted digital clock (which disappears when the radio is on, to make way for the frequency display) and apart from the stupid, fiddly radio buttons themselves, is a major safety hazard -- I'm constantly having to look over and down at the clock. Very unnerving. thanks, David. -- David Wareing dwareingnopsamaide.on.net Macintosh Game Development <www.ambrosiasw.com/~dwareing> Get Mars Rising: <www.marsrising.com>
