Welcome to my new to me 2010 9-5 2.3 Turbo.
101,000 miles, everything works..

Early impressions Mike? Pleased with it?

Very pleased with the new one.
Much tighter driving feel, its supposed to have the Aero suspension but I have my doubts, understeers more than the old one..
Picks up very well, feels as though tune is different to bring in more torque lower donw than the 2002
Not too much to say to be honest.
Not that impressed by the 'new' door card material and the seat leather compared to the old 2002 Aero.

On the agenda a visit to NoobTune...

You can tell which suspension the car had when it left the factory by looking at the VIN plate at the bottom of the centre door pillar, passenger side.  If you have the original shock absorbers, rear ones will be shot.  Mine had 2 inches of free play in them at 100,000 miles...

Look at the list of codes along the bottom of the VIN plate and it tells you what the springs, dampers, anti-roll bar & brakes are fitted.

I'd also suggest that the rear trailing arm bushes are likely knackered if they've never been replaced.
