Hello all! been a long time since I've been around.
My first 9-5 was an 02 Linear; me second was a 00 Linear Wagon, both autos.
I'm now looking for a third, to keep miles off my Mini.
I drove an 08 manual. Car pulled great, but the whole thing felt a bit "sloppy" - the best way I can put it. The 01 felt very much like my previous cars - light, agile yet solid. My wagon had 240K on it when sold, and was still tight as a drum.
I prefer the "Saabness" of the older car - interior quality, secondary controls, etc. But the 08 is, obviously, significantly newer. Outside of the 260 horse vs. 230 horse, is the 08 vastly superior in any way?
