Saab was the most nimble and fleet of : foot (wheel?) - the 9-5 and the 9-3 : we had a '91 passat a couple of years back. lumberingly slow is correct. when we were looking for a replacement, even our 87 9000s seemed zippier (no turbo). now with our turbo model being so much more sprightly i could never see us going back to a non turbo or a non saab. but the real sell for us was how both our saabs feel on the road compared to driving the passat. when we're weaving around the city or on the highway, we never get the sensation that the car and contents are about to leave the road - as we often did in the passat. with all the talk of SUV/trailblazer saabs in another thread, i'm feeling a bit like i bought into a great car legacy that's going to become pure vanilla, yuechh! -- abdallah 87 9000S 280,000 km 87 9000T 230,000 km (waiting for new door and fender)
