Um, first the glove compartment issue: Unlike most Americans I don't pack up my entire house to take with me when I leave the area. I have yet to find a problem with my "lack" of a glove compartment. The only pieces I take with me, maps (which fit in the passenger back pocket) and CDs (which are in a LARGE case which sits behind the passenger seat again) fit fine. The door "map pockets" hold quite a bit, and substantially more than any glove box I've seen. As for the rear seats, I've not had a complaint, other than you really can't get 3 people in the back, but that's not a major issue for me currently. I wouldn't even THINK of replacing them with another set, at best it'd look attrocious. > The transmission was a little notchy, but I'm used to that. > I found a '97 Aero at a dealer near Chicago, but it was a bit > overpriced.

My transmission is notchy as well, but nothing terribly bad, and it certainly has no problem leaving anything else on the street behind, assuming you learn how to launch a car with that much power delivered through teh front wheels. I have a 95 Aero in silver. Good luck finding one, depending on where yo are, there arne't a whole lot of them floating around. Last time I had a service, International Motors in Falls Church, VA had a 96 Aero in black on the lot, don't know the price. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli | petrillinopsamr.org
