+1 for hatchbacks!
I REALLY miss my '96 900SE turbo.
By far the best combination of utility, economy and performance in any car I've ever driven.
- Huge carrying capacity (took 2 kids to college, and at times hauled a full kitchen set, a treadmill, and a dishwasher)
- Great fuel economy when off boost, and a big gas tank for long range
- Very entertaining performance when the 15 psi (!!) of boost starts kicking in at about 2800 rpm. Nice 5 speed manual transmission.
- Lots of room for tall drivers (I'm 6' 1")
- Good creature comforts (200w stereo, 6-disc CD changer, full leather, sunroof, etc.)
- Great winter performance. When using dedicated winter tires, I would put it up against most SUV's in the white stuff.
WHY CAN"T I BUY A NEW CAR LIKE THIS IN THE U.S.A. ?!?!?!
The good stuff from Europe or Japan doesn't seem to make it over here!
