Great write up. I too am new to the 95, got a 2007 Aero wagon 5 months ago, approx 200,000 km. Very nice car. Previously I've had a couple of 900s and 3 9000s (still have a 96 9000). Storage space in the passenger compartment is my largest gripe, and the ride is harsh with the 17" summer tires. Lots of space for hauling stuff and the Xenon lights are great. Self leveling is handy when there is a lot of weight in the back. Lots of power and the ESP works great. Only thing I have done so far is change the oil, plugs, and put in a used OEM DI. The new Chinese DI it came with seemed ok except at high RPM and high load (2nd gear > 80/km/h) where there was missing or engine cut out. I suspected the DI or fuel pump and saw a cheap used DI on kijiji which fixed the problem. In the spring I need to check brakes, belt/idlers and bleed brakes and clutch.
