We are talking 5-door, right? Because 3-door was a turbo...
I have a 1998 900S 5-door. 5-speed manual. Almost 150k miles.
I don't think it is slow. It is fairly quick off the line, especially if you wind it out. It is best at higher speeds, though, feeling completely relaxed even above 100 mph. I once got pulled over by a cop in an unmarked cruiser. He was pissed because, as he told me, he could not catch up to me for a while. I accelerated in 5th from about 80 mph to ??? Top speed is about 135 mph, I believe.
Having said that, sometimes I do get frustrated at lower speeds because the amount of low rpm torque is not as great as either my Impreza 2.5RS, or my 325i. But it seldom happens.
