I drove down to Boston today (from Portland, Maine) to buy my new car!!!
Its a BLACK 9-5 AERO 5-Speed... my DREAM CAR!!!
I've wanted a 9-5 aero since they came out, when I was in high school.
PICS: :)

thats a fine looking 9-5..best color in my opinion. someday i hope to have one like that. drive it for a week or two and then let the modding begin.

good luck and welcome to the club,

Isn't that the truth. Beautiful 9-5 there. Looking at where the heated seat switches are I'd think that wouldn't be ideal with the shifter right there. I do miss being able to select different levels of warmth. The 9-3's are either off or on and cycle around on there own.

Mmm, chillled anything via glovebox!

This car gets me wanting a change..Moar pics please..

Anyone-How does this car behave? Boat?
the aeros are quite good actually, the linears are terrible, but compared to a viggen the 9-5 aero is great, much stiffer chassis if you ask me.

Welcome and nice Aero! Just got a Wagon version m'self. Sooooo nice on the highway....

Just to let you know though, I don't think yours has the ventilated seats... unless the photos of the interior aren't of you car. The switches for the vented seats are right next to seat heater switches, and the pictures show blanks in there instead of switches. Just a head's up...

I love the 9-5, we have a lpt with stage 2 and bilstein eibach, no aero bars though.... i swear i feel more confident in that car than my 9-3 with sway bar, strut brace, poly bushings, and shocks/springs... it's a nice ride! I am looking forward to getting a 9-5 aero wagon someday!

So yeah, its totally my 1 year anniversary of buying my 9-5 Aero.

I will hit exactly 30,000 miles of driving tomorrow (89k). Thats a lot of good times in my (still) new car :D.

It also means only 3 more years of car payments... yay!

<3 :D
