I have a 2000 9-3 5 speed and am conssidering upgrading to a 9-5. Just drove a friend's 1999 9-5 (170 HP) 5 speed, and found it a bit sluggish when accelerating from a stop. Once the turbo kicked in it was reasonably fast. (My 9-3 has very little turbo lag and felt much quicker after driving the 9-5.) Made me wonder about the 9-5 AERO. I know it has plenty of top end speed and passing power, but since it is using the same 2.3 engine to get going before the turbo kicks in, is it also a bit sluggish from a stop? Is there a significant turbo lag followed by a real neck snapping surge?
