Too bad you didn't get a 2001 9-3 Viggen. *evil grin* I got myself a 2000 9-5 Aero, after driving a 1991 Saturn SL2 for about 7 years. The Saturn was an awesome car, got me through high school and college. A very decent car to have in high school. So getting my 9-5 was a BIG jump. Double the HP. Better fuel efficiency (I still can't believe it), more space. It handles better than my dad's Jaguar XJ6. It's faster than my buddies' Audi A4 and S-Type 4.0 (much to his chagrin) and has a lower cost of ownership than either. I've got a 1 hour commute to school M-Th down Hwy 101... Through the heart of Silicon Valley. The 9-5 makes the traffic easier to handle. And it's more comfortable than my mercedes C280 that inherited, which I rarely drive. -ME On 10/14/03 4:32 PM, in article vI%ib.12693$313.2243nopsamsvr32.news.prodigy.com, "SPL" <SPLnopsam.net> wrote: > I am a Senior in high school who owns a 2002 Saab 9-3 SE Turbo.
