I used to have a 2-litre automatic 9000S and have to say it was a lovely car but not especially economical. The auto box does soak up fuel until you get into fourth gear, sadly. Nowadays things are different - my 130 bhp VW Transporter van is an automatic with a six-speed DSG auto and both fuel economy and performance are almost exactly the same and the manual.
I think your typical US-version CS would be a low-pressure turbo, anyway.
Repairs generally would of course cost the same as any 9000 - the auto transmission is definitely repairable unless it isn't repairable at all, if you get my drift. Governor seals and accumulator springs are fixable in the car. Catastrophic failure is another matter.
