Alert me when someone posts in this thread:

I've had 3 9-5 wagons, each with the B235R, and the 5spd automatic transmission.

My 2004 Aero was easily the fastest, and got the best mileage. (Owned from 72K-125K)
My 2003 Aero wasn't as fast, and got slightly worse mileage. (Owned from 121K-187K)
My 2006 2.3T is similar to the 2003. (Bought with 46K, currently has 50K)

(Both my '93 Aero and '00 Viggen had manuals... so a comparison isn't fair.)

I don't find the "slow" ones to be really slow, just significantly different than the 2004.

All of them ran the proper NGK plugs, and were maintained by me.

If I had lots of time, I'd go through my current '06 with a fine-toothed comb, but at this point, it seems "good enough" so it'll have to wait.

I'm tempted to try a "stage 1" ECU tune from one of the long-standing tuners to see how that changes things after I check for intake and turbo system culprits.


If you find anything, let us know.
