Subject: Re: 9-3 or 9-5............


H. I got a 2000 9-5 estate 2.0 LPT a little while ago now and absolutely LOVE driving it regularly doing 280 mile trips from SW Wales to London. Couldn't think of driving a smaller car now. Parking in london slight prob because the car is so damn long (almost 5m) but I have reversing bleepers so that helps. I would however be very interested in the Hirsh upgrade from 150 to 210 BHp. http://www.hirsch-performance.ch/docs/l_9_5_2001_e.php Go for the 9-5 JD "Derek Wright" <nospam.drwrighnopsamlobal.net> wrote in message news:PzFBjCTkhOvp-pn2-7kQXVglOf0Prnopsamlhost... > I have a 96 900 Turbo and a 9-5 estate auto with a chipped engine > The 900 is like a motorbike compared to the 9-5 > > The 9-5 is so effortless to drive, the 900 very noisy and hard > If all your driving is fun driving - ie round the lanes on a Summer > day then go 9-3, if it is A to B driving go 9-5 - you will will be > able to cover more miles a day in a 9-5 than a 9-3 because it is less > fatiguing. > But get the 9-5 chipped unless you go for a high power variant > > > > > > On Tue, 8 Jan 2002 08:34:11, "Iain McWilliams" <iainnopsamco.uk> wrote: > > > > > "H." <musicboxnopsamrider.co.uk> wrote in message > > news:76qj3u85rvo4lrmk28m2vjbh1gl7mbi20snopsamcom... > > > Guys, as ever, I turn to you for opinions and advice! > > > > > > I am in a complete quandary over what to buy next!
