I have a non-turbo auto and I still agree

Talk about lack of start-up power!
The car is more solid than my 9-5. The doors, the hatch, the feel on a snowy day, the seats, the fit and finish. There is no question in my mind that this car was built without the strict oversight of profit makers.
My 9-5 is an Aero, which obviously is an improvement in power, and handling. It's performance in the snow is somewhat diminished by the increased power and the manual tranny. The seats are not as comfortable, but are still leagues ahead of most cars.
What is better about the 9-5? Well, first you can still get one. Let me think. Brakes are awesome. Ride is quieter, evan at crazy speed. A little more storage space for little things. My own opinion, but I like the look of it. It gets more compliments than my 9000 did.
If I could have either car brand new right now I would take the 9000. I do have to put in a bit of support for the 9-5 though, because I am confident that many of those here on this board will be soon saying "Hi, I am new to this board, I just bought a 9-5"
Have a nice Sunday,
Mike
