If you floor it, you get torque steer like an old vauxhall, as the ECU tries to reign in all the power (The 4 wheel drive cars may be a little better, but I have not driven one)

It's not been good on maintenance costs, these are the additional costs on top of routine servicing
Saab 9-5 Aero is a great car to drive if you want to experience some torque steer That's what happens with 275BHP in FWD
