[s-cars] Mmmm, shifty business...

Drive a 528i wagon, that's what my dad traded his 530i wagon for when he  
went out of lease.  Makes the 2.8 30v seem downright fast!  Then  again, I know 
from experience that the 2.8 30v takes a really neat bolt on  supercharger kit 
from PES that makes it much more lively.

Much to  my surprise, the loaner car at the Saabaru dealer is an older 9-5 V6
wagon  with an
autobox. It is surprisingly unobtrusive, and perhaps even  somewhat
responsive. Considering
the mission of the car, it's really not  out of place. Then again, I find
that my Mom's Passat 2.8
30V Tip  4-motion really just can't keep up with the needs of the car (it's
too  heavy for the 2.8),
or it's simply poorly programmed. The car is somewhat  infuriating in a
number of little ways,
the Tip is one of  them.
