LesH said it all. I'd say that I prefered the style and personality of the 900SPG, but I drive "alot" and though it was still clean, my SPG's rough ride had become a p.i.t.a. on a daily basis, but I was in love with it.. and it did 600k kilometers with no big problems, just the usual things.
My 2003 Linear Wagon, fully loaded is roomy, comfortable, silent.. (at last) has better gas mileage, and a real nice sounding audio system. It is better assembled, and more reliable.
On the down side.. though road handling is great and safe. (ESP makes wonders here in winter..) I find it lacks "zest". The car is not behaving like a Buick, not at all, but it could give a little more emotions..
Like LesH, my only regret is that I didn't choose an Aero.
Auto-tranny: I always had manual trannies, except on this one car.. and I must admit, the 5 speed auto tranny is great, especially in Sport mode.
So, all in all. A great car.
Sylvain
