I have owned my 1995 9000 Aero for about 8 weeks and I am coming to love it.

Initally I missed the ride and handling of the 17 year old rear wheel drive BMW, but roominess factors and my desire for a 5 speed (the BMW was an automatic - a mistake) made me to turn to Saab, the only sporty car I could find with the room I needed.

Took a little to get use to the front wheel drive and turbo lag and the tubo's flat power curve - but now I am loving driving the Saab and enjoying the room to haul my fun things like scuba, camping skiing gear. Plus I am sure it will be much better in the snow - anything has to be better than the BMW in snow.

Well after initial buyer/seller regret I look back no more - except maybe in a good sharp curve wishing I could swing out the rear just a bit with the rwd oversteer.
