I have owned 2 9000's ( a 92 Turbo and '93 CSET) with auto boxes. With regular trans fluid changes (every 30k miles or so) they both worked flawlessly for me. While I generally prefer cars with a manual transmission, these cars were particularly well suited to an auto box. Once you get the turbo spun-up on full boost you can hold it there as the trans shifts through the gears. The '92 (200hp FPT) was especially quick that way... -- -Fred W
