This is my 2nd 9-5, decided to go for the power and get an Aero-GLAD I did. I've been driving a '99 9-5 for the past 6 years for business & the 2 vehicles are as opposite as it gets, I can't stand getting behind the wheel of my '99 any more. There's no comparison-PLUSH seats, quieter ride, better looks, and Ohhhhh that pavement hungry engine! I can't begin to count the number of friends who own all those overpriced German cars who take a ride in mine get out saying, "WOW!" Need I say more? The athletic handling and passing ability this car has is unreal. I keep my driving status quo but on occassion I have to show obnoxious drivers who's boss. BMW & VW punks look dazed at the stoplight!

Excellent sport/luxury sedan and value

The suspension and chassis are decidedly performance biased. The steering is accurate and not overboosted. The overtaking quickness is exhilarating. The leather sport seats are well-bolstered. The stereo is excellent. The car has a solid, satisfying "king of the road" personality. Bottom line: for less than I would have paid for a 330i or a 3.0 Quatrro A4, I got an excellent sport/luxury sedan in the A6 2.7T/5 series class with all the specs and goodies.

An affordable, large car with athletic style and european ride and handling. I like that 4 people can ride in comfort (including the driver and one behind). Car is responsive (though more so in sport mode) and handles well.

The 9-5's Evil Twin

Is my 2nd 9-5 and without a doubt, the Aero is the way to go. The amount of power this 4 cylinder has is amazing & the cornering with the low profile perf. tires is tenacious. Everyone who rides in this car is extremely surprised by the "giddy up" & handling. It's definitely a vehicle I enjoy driving and doing 30k miles/yr for business that's an important requirement, I practically live in my car during the business week. There's a host of creature comforts in the interior and I've never gotten fatigued behind the wheel, even on 4+ hr business trips-very comfortable seats that seem to wrap right around you. .
