I know you have opinions on the Subie...

much the same as mine. (Seats, Seats, Seats!... and a lot of other things, but the seats are a glaring difficiency)
As long as I'm in my Subie for less than an hour at a time, it's alright... anything longer and my body aches (literally) for a decent seat. Have the newer Subies improved this at all?
Of course, some people's bodies probably fit the Subaru seats better than mine, so it's certainly subjective. But every Saab I've driven ('83 900, '87 900, '91 900, '92 9000, '97 900, '93 9000, '01 9-5, etc. etc.) is light years ahead of most other cars in terms of high-quality seating ergonomics. Both my brothers have VAG products ('04 A4, '01 A6 AllRoad, '02 Jetta Wagon) and those seats are much better then the Subie's... similar to my Saab's.
Let us know what you find. (I'll be selling my 9000 Aero come July as my wife an I are moving abroad... you interested?... wink, wink, nod, nod)
Best,
Peter
