Most people who bought and persevered with Sensonics do love them. For the majority of people, however, it's too much of a compromise one way or another; not automated enough for the driver used to a conventional automatic, and too automated for the dyed- in-the-wool manual enthusiast. My rather strong condemnation you quoted is a little tongue in cheek; whilst I think the concept is a good one, I personally don't enjoy driving a Sensonic. >I would have bought a new car by now but I don't want to give it up. > Yes, many Sensonic drivers feel the same. >All the best, >Tom >'96 900 SE turbo senso koopay >(or koop if you prefer... personally I think it's a two door hatchback) I have always thought that calling the 3-door 900s and 9-3s Coupés was a case of Saab making a virtue out of necessity :-) -- Regards Leroy Curtis Please replace "nospam" with "baram" in my address if you wish to reply by Email
