S60T5 vs Saab 9-3 Vector S60

posted by  someone claiming to be gerry on  Fri May 23 09:33 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I recently decided that it's time for a new car. Having driven nothing but Volvos for the past 15 years, I was sure that it would be a 2004 S60T5 with sport package. I've taken a couple of test drives and really love this car - handling, style, well... everything! Then I saw the new Saab 93 Vector and felt that I'd better take one for a spin. I've never owned or driven a Saab before and I have to admit - this is one nice machine. My first impression is that it seems as powerful as a T5 and the handling / steering feel is probably superior - not as 'floaty' as the S60. Ride seems firmer too. Styling? Well, aside from the few noticable 'GM influences', pretty damn slick. Overall not much to complain about.
So.... I now have a dilemma.... I can't imagine not driving a Volvo, but this Saab is making me think twice about the S60. They are basically the same price (Saab a few K less - not a big deal).
Just wondering if anyone can comment on Volvo vs Saab ownership experience, or would care to offer opinions on which way to go.
Thanks in advance
