daz90 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
My cousin had a 2.2tid 9-3 as a company car a couple of years ago, i had a drive in it one day, i thought it was very smart indeed, it had all the gadgets that anyone could need, and i found that it was easily the fastest car i have ever driven (although there arn't many).

It is a quick machine, and i personally like the Saab's styling and individuality, lots of little querks with it. The 2.2 tid is indeed a Vauxhall engine, and is the same in many of the later mk1 Vectra's, (i beleive they are in the process of replacing this unit along with the 2.0dti/tdi with a smaller 1.9tdi). Having said that i recently drove a VW Golf 1.9115bhp, tdi, this seemed a better engine to me, even though it is smaller in size, probably better fuel economy and cheaper to insure/run.
