post saab what to drive?
beginning to think seriously about what comes next. after a sting of saabs the next car to be added to the garage will undoubtedly be something other than a saab. also, unfortunately the next car looks like it may end up being an automatic. i have never owned anything but manuals and have serious misgivings about that change but i have accepted that it is a likelihood at this time.
what is a good choice for a saab driver? something that has reasonable size, handles well, and preferably has a degree of versatility. good for the long haul but also competent on twisty county roads and other two lane highways.
current car is a 9-5 sport/aero 5 speed manual. i would not rule out a newer used car but my thinking is that it will be new. i really do not want to spend more than ~ 40k at the top end and the less the better. that rules out a number of cars that might otherwise be of interest.
i have not really been out looking or done research but one of the cars that i intend to put on the consideration list is the vw arteon. hatchback that seems to hit the desired size class and basic characteristics. sort of surprised that a search turned up no comments on it on the boards here. a reasonable choice? any one driven one? impression of handling and driving experience? visibility? ...
what else should an old saaber be considering when looking for a new car?
