i went from a '95 9000 aero to the 9-5. first one was a '98 9-5 se sedan w/ the I4 that i chipped [courtesy of genuinesaab.com] and installed aero bars on. second 9-5 [which i currently drive] is a 2000 se v6 wagon that is stock. IMHO, both 9-5's are far superior to the 9000 in terms of build quality, ergonomics and handling. the 9-5 platform feels much more solid and squeek free than the 9000 ever did; both the v6 and the chipped I4 also go a bit better than the aero 9000. all of the utility of the 9000 hatch is matched by the size of the sedan trunk and exceeded by the wagon. all saabs seem to have the same problems by model such as dead pixels in the SID, HVAC troubles common to the 9-5, but my 9000 had all of the issues that are endemic to 9000's as well such as heater core, blower motor, etc. my view is that the 9-5 is just a better all around car...now i am looking to trade my wagon for a viggen [!]
