aero vs. regular 9-5
hello.
i have only had my aero a little less than a week but i test drove both the aero and the 9-5 back to back on two different days.
the 9-5 just isn't even close.
the difference (at least to me) was startling.
the 9-5 felt mushy and much larger than the aero.
the aero is a dream to drive, i just got back from visiting a friend in maine (170 miles each way!) i pretty much went just as an excuse to drive the aero some more.
you have to be very careful to watch how fast you are driving because it is so quick and smooth that you just don't realize how fast you are actually going.
merging with traffic on the turnpike on ramps is a joy, it is as if the car can go faster than you can anticipate.
i am still under 1,000 miles on the odometer so i'm trying to keep the rpm's down, but i highly recommend going to your dealer and taking their aero for a demo ride.
find a nice twisty turny road (preferably UPhill) and see what it can do.
