Mike- Don't judge me, it's an auto. Daily driver is gotta be an auto. But thanks for the good words about the Saturn. Like my buddy said, that car certainly paid it's dues. I am very hard on my cars.

Al- No aero, but I did get the XWD. I just couldn't justify the added cost for a daily. I didn't know the non-aeros didn't get the rear LSD until yesterday, which was almost a deal breaker. The car will get a tune by the end of this year, though, that is for sure. Coilovers shortly after that. Haven't pushed it yet, but I can feel the car can boogey in the turns. It's piss slow with the 2.0 and the awd. It's the Cobalt SS motor, right? It takes the same oil filters from what I've read.

And thanks on the compliments. In regards to parts, Saab Parts is still in business. I'm not worried. They are forced by the Swedish gov't to remain open for ten more years. Also, the car has been around since 03, used parts are everywhere. Servicing the ECU is what concerns me, but I will cross that bridge when I get there. Resale will be tough, but I usually end up driving my cars until they have nominal value anyway, so it doesn't concern me. I have gap insurance as well.

It really isn't a car for everyone, but for what I needed it for, it's great. I drive alot, and need something to last me a few years while I establish a career. I thought about this car alot, and did a ton of research. To give an idea of what I paid for this car, I paid 1k less for this car, than I did for the Saturn in 05, which also had GM incentives at the time. Deal was too good to pass up
