I drove the 2006 9-5 with auto, but purchased a 5 speed manual. I found the auto box goods as autos go, but if you are a "shifter" then there really is NO substitute, even if teh SAB 9-5 manula transmission shift linkage is mediocre at best (my previous experience was with mediocre VW manuals so I did not have any problems adapting to the Saab shifter). I also found the steering wheel mounted buttons on teh 2006 9-5 auto to slow to shift. This was perhaps just a result of my expectation since they probably shift as quick as I do in the manual, but when you are shifting you do not precieve the delay the same way. I am hoping to drive a VW with DSG sometime in the near future, maybe then I will be swayed a bit more, but I doubt it. FWIW I understand the 9-3 auto box is quicker to shift then the 9-5's but I have yet to try a new automatic 9-3. Perhaps you can confirm this??
