As title says,

what car would you guys get ?
I'm looking for a family car (sedan) with the following goodies:

• leather
• dual-climate-zone
• heated seats
• HIDs
• sun-roof
• leather interior
• decent handling/power
• automatic (wife doesn't want manual)

I test drove the Subaru Legacy GT Limited edition and wasn't impressed.
Although the AWD was good, lighting sucked, and the triptronic was bloody slow to shift. I prefer the Volvo S60 AWD a lot more compared to that one.
Anyways, what would you get as a car and why ?
I'm thinking on SAAB 93-Aero (2.8V6Turbo: 250hp/258tq, 3175lbs) vs SAAB 9-5(2.8I4Turbo: 260hp/258tq, 3670lbs)... pretty much same price, power.
The 9-3Aero is lighter (~500lbs) but less goodies... so might be more fun to drive, but maybe have less value then the 9-5.
It's a car I want to keep for long (10+ yrs), and have no kids YET, but they might be in the picture very soon, hence the decision for a family oriented car (practical)... but I still want something decent to drive... much better than the 94 civic I have.

Anyways... waiting on input.

My Dad is a big fan of SAABs. He's had some pretty good luck with most of them, and one was a real headache. I borrowed his 9000 once to drive to Montreal. Fantastic car for the trip never missed a beat. It was only the CDE with a turbo 4 and an auto. I could drive it every day and be pretty happy, as long as I had something else interesting.

I agree on the BMW front. They are nice, but not that nice. There's tons of them for sale, too. Carmax alone has hundreds. I just don't see how the prices stay so high.

The SAAB sounds like a good choice to me. Only other car I can think of is a WRX, but Subies are a love 'em/hate 'em proposition.

Thanks,
I considered the Sub's, but was more inclined towards a Legacy 2.5GT Limited.
Test drove one this week, liked the AWD, exterior and interior.
Lots of nice things, but the tranny is bloody slow to shift (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and the lighting isn't efficient on the road... my 94 civic illuminates the road better, and the ABS, when comes on, causes an earth-quake of rattles (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
so i'm reconsidering the subarues.

Other possibilities I have in mind:
Saab 93 Aero
Saab 95
Impala SS (no HIDs) testdriving tonight.
Accord V6 (no HIDs)
Acura TL
Passat
Hyundai Sonata (no HIDs) seems like a great bang for buck, though
Volvo s60
audi a4

seems like the volvo is the only one that can offer the awd, and at this point, i don't care much if it's only a fwd.
Would be nice if Impala SS was rwd.
before I'd consider any bmw, I'd give a chance to the Mercedes C320 sport... but it's getting $.

1 thing to note is that i'm not in a rush, so I have to come accross a great deal from manufacturer... i can afford to wait.
