You're right, I've always liked German cars, Audi, BMW, and as I drive different cars, none have been so important, but the four wheel drive, it will be, drove past the Volvo Cross Country and it went like a train,but this Saab is good, 260hp and very good road holding...

are you buying biofuel-run car with 230 hp?
it reminds me of a quarrel I had some time ago with my friend. We were talking about cars run on LPG. My point was that buying a fancy and expensive car (in that particular case it was an almost new Audi A4 combi) with LPG system is a dumbness beyond any limits. I said, that cars like Fiat Seicento could be run on LPG (cheap car-->LPG-->low expenses on gas(fuel). My friend stated that even if he had Lexus he would put there LPG, bcoz it doesn't matter how rich you are, you are free to choose and running on LPG (well, in general, anything that is cheaper than Diesel oil and gasoline)doesn't make you look like a cheapskate. My point was that if you want to show off with your car, the expenses on its upkeep should also be kept on adequate level.

LPG, E85, Ethanol ... many different names there, and the effect is roughly equivalent to 260 hp, E85 or Ethanol is cheaper but takes more "soup" per mil, so ultimately it evens itself out, however, is different torque at different speeds, when I have the opportunity with both automatic and manual shifting, which occurs when the electronics that you know, so it becomes automatic which is good because it requires the attention of other places Also ... so roughly every 1.2-1.3 mil in normal driving...

Test drove one a few months ago, a 1.6 diesel and was pleasantly suprised at her performance....far superior to my 1.6 petrol Focus.
