The SE is well specced (very well specced) in comparison to its European competition - but there's the rub - the competition is poorly equipped, so there is no need for Saab to go OTT with the extras in order to be competitive. However, they've gone mad with the Aero, and the only extras are things like the Electric Sunroof (don't want one, I've got ACC), Rain Sensor Wipers - I've added these, and an AS3 audio upgrade <-- didn't bother with that - the AS2 is very good on my current car, and I've better things to spend the money on. >I dont have things like the > HID lights, ESP or rain sensing wipers but its of a rather small consolation > to me. I'm certainly happy with the car I got for the money I paid. HID lights, ESP all standard. As are metallic paint finish, the Heated Seats, Electric Memory seats and so on. Not necessarily things I would have spent extra on, as they are very expensive as add-ons, but to get them in the spec, makes the Aero outstanding value in the UK. Nothing from BMW can come close in terms of equipment, for several thousands pounds more. Heck, the Aero spec works out cheaper than the SE by the time you add some of the included freebie extras - much cheaper! Simon
