I drive a 2007 Saab Areo 9.5 wagon. I understand your LOVE/hate relationship with your car. Bottom line, it's fun to drive, hugs the ground, even bottoms out in the front occassionaly. It's so great to hear you say " it squeaks and rattles over every imperfection in the road" …I thought mine was the only one. :) Did you just have an airbag recall? I do love the way it looks. I've only seen three others in the five years I've owned it.
