I just sold my '97 900 SE 5 speed with 75K in favor of a '93 9000 CSE 5 speed with 150K.....why? Well, for starters, the 9K is roomier. The 2.3 delivers noticeably more power than the 2.0. While the interiors of the New Gen was more "modern"....similar to the 9-3, I prefer the old school styling of the crappy Clarion radio, knobs, buttons, and dash control. I am now a realtor, and in the car constantly.......the 9000 is averaging 26.8 - 28 MPG around town.....unless the Info Display has totally crapped out. The 9000 has more cargo space than the New Gen did, and the seats fold COMPELTELY flat....vs the HUMP in the New Gen and I presume, 9-3.

If I had to replace this car.....I'd search high and low for another 9000 in just as clean of condition.
