It's a yellow one.

I don't know a lot about them yet. All I know of this one is it's 2.0l turbo SE. I'm kind of hoping someone here may be able to educate me. hehe



PS. I'm probably keeping the GT86 now too. biggrin

Unless you are caning it at max revs, all the turbo Saabs to me feel pretty similar, as the basic engine is similar and the high output turbo on the Aero only really contributes when thrashed. Good overtaking oomph, and comfortable seats (mine on my 2006 9-5 are the most comfortable of any car I have ever owned, and the list includes Lexuses, Mercedes, Volvo and Audi, as well as TVR!).

Enjoy! (if we get any more summer)

Interesting (in the best way), what made you probably keep the GT86? Fun factor?

Yep. I still love it after three years. It's easily the best car I've had.
The TVR was seriously fast, BMWs comfortable and 'quality', 350Z great GT, Audi plain st, etc - but this is the best 'drive', fun and practical too.
Need a change after so long but can't get rid - I'd only buy another in a year or two.

Given what I've read and heard, I can see what you mean. I've been tempted by smaller 2dr coupes recently but I think I like the combination of space, practicality and shove from the 9-5 more at the moment. That said, I haven't yet driven anything like an S2000 and similar to compare...

Can take a little while to show - it will turn up on the email account you linked to PH. Not (too) urgent.
