You hear that, Gary? ;-) >> Probably, but with your other complaints, Gary, would that make you >> happy with the car overall?

It was a steal as well at 2250 UKP. I just didn't say > "yes, I'll buy it" quick enough :( I think I'm better of with the CS than with the CSE. The fuel costs are lower (since it doesn't require high octane). The insurance costs are much lower. The purchase cost was lower. And I probably would have driven badly with something so high powered. I test drove a 1997 9000CSE and I felt pretty dangerous in it. Too much car for me. The 9000CS, at 170 horsepower (as rated in the US) is plenty powerful for me. And I remember my 1986 900T. When I was tired and driving home from work, the turbo boost and whine would sometimes make me car sick in my own car! -- Tom Reingold Noo Joizy
