T5 or Aero?

[SlowV6]

Thinking S60 vs 9-5 saloon here. Two PH favourites and very closely matched offerings!

At SOTW plus a bit budget which one would you pick and why?

The 9-5. Can't put a fag paper between them, but the s60 will still be being produced in ten years so have a Saab while there are some left. The Saab is currently the better value too.

The 9-5 will have more space in the back. I think you'll need an S80 to get the same amount of space.

Volvo will feel a bit more solid. Saab switch gear is good, but not as good......

Auto boxes in Volvos can be dodgy.

Can't get a T5 S80, only a T6, which is a 2.9 turbo (Part of me thinks twin turbo, but surely that's not right?).

Ive had both and both are great cars. If I had to choose though Id say the T5 is the better steer and sounds 100% better than the washing machine motor in the saab.

This contest is manual S60 T5 vs manual aero saloon comparison. Not interested in estates and I would like a Spanish..

I actually prefer the S60 to look at and also the interior. But that is offset by the fact that Saabs are currently cheaper. I sense (correct me if I am wrong) that the Volvo may potentially cost more to run.

Just garnering opinion of the beards!
