I actually have the automatic, which I bought in the name of practicality because I live in Los Angeles and I sit in hours of traffic every week -- but since buying the car, I half-wish I had a stick because this car is so much fun to drive. Originally from MA, the car's undercarriage rusted significantly before I bought it, which has caused a dearth of minor(ish) problems. Though, in the car's defense, none that you wouldn't expect to see on a 17-year-old vehicle with mostly original equipment. I have taken it from 82K miles a couple of years ago to about 107K today without any major repairs. Build quality, especially where the interior is concerned, is a bit lacking.
Great entry car to the world of sedans

Bought the car as a time to grow up upgrade from my wife's Pontiac Sunfire GT convertable. First comment is that it is huge, seats 5 adults no problem. 2.3 ltr turbo is quiet but powerful, and the overall road handling is great. A bit of a gass gossler and loaded with lots of electronic gizmos that all seem to need service at 60,000 miles. The car is a bit expensive for upkeep - but a real pleasure on road trips. A far better value than a BMW 3 series probably more spacious than a 5 series. A great first time buyers entry in to the near/luxury sedan market. Buy the car, drive it, enjoy it and worry about the rest later.

It's not the best at everything, but does EVERYTHING well, and in certain ways it can't be beat. It's not quick enough to encourage racing, but it's fast enough on the highways to pass anyone.(Especially on hills;>) Mileage: Commuting, LIE N.Y. 27mpg, Highway, 31+mpg I was rear ended two years ago( I was at a dead stop. the SUV was going approx 30mph). $9k damage. It felt like I was hit by a bowl full of pudding. The trunk still opened & closed. The seats and headrests are GREAT. Maybe they could make crash proof lighting, but the car's passenger protection is fabulous. I love it...

I absolutley love my 9000CSE. This car is the ultimate highway monster: it criuses effortlessly at 80mph and still gets 30mpg. When the time comes to overtake at highway speeds, look out, boost kicks in and you will be in triple digit speeds without even tring. This car can haul more then my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and is much more comfotable. Because of this, we use the SAAB for out of town camping trips and leave the Jeep in the garage.
