[s-cars] POLE: wonderful dilema, S4 or Ultrasport?

[Taka Mizutani]

I've heard about that issue, I'm personally not worried about it, but I'm
under warranty and plan on doing a 7/70 or 7/80 warranty next year so I'll
have three more years of warranty- the car will be sold before it goes out
of warranty.

DI cassettes are the ignition system in the 9-5- like the POS on the UrS.
When they go, the car is totally dead in the water. I know some people
chimed in with good experiences with the Saabs, but my mechanic stopped
working on Saabs a few years after the 900NG came out- that and the way the
used car values are on Saabs, I won't buy one. Those two events tell me that
they are not good used cars. I'll elaborate more off-list.

Not only is the IS300 Sportcross small, it's rare as hell, automatic-only,
RWD and really not that great of a car unless you're planning on doing a
JZA80 swap (Supra TT drivetrain).
