Yup, another car thread from me
I'm having second thoughts about getting the SAAB 9000 Aero now, as much as I love them I fear I'll tire of it pretty quickly, I loved my CSE to bits but it was just missing something, I can't say what but you'll know if you know .
Now the 190 2.5-16 was almost perfect, aye it had it's niggles but driving it became an occasion, ultimately it wasn't going to be a good daily hack though.
The W140 is, I'll admit, dull, technically brilliant but dull. It can be made to be fun on the right road with the TC off though!
Then last night I spied the W126 500SE in the classifieds, I like it a lot but after a bit ebaying I'm turning towards the baby XJ8 now. My mum has an '02 XKR which is the same inside (obviously smaller!) and it's a lovely place to be, both snug and airy - totally different to anything else I've owned. The AJ V8s make a nice noise too, not intrusive but not too quiet. Up until now I'm sold!
The downside is I've heard reports that they can be unreliable, though my mum's hasn't had a problem in the 2 years she's owned it.
Any thought's?
Oh, and they're good looking too IMO!
