What Saab? My brother had an old Saab 99 for a while. That thing was from 1976 and had so much technology in it. A good car, except his didn't run much.

Being a "4 banger" doesn't make it hard to break the tires loose. The Honda S2000 is 'only' a "4 banger", but it makes 200 horsepower out of its 2L engine. I can chip the tires through 3rd (maybe more, but by then I've run out of speed limit) gear in my girlfriends 4 banger Miata.

I could break the tires loose on my old Storm going into 2nd, and it had a automatic and a 4 cylinder engine.

Nothing wrong with small efficient engines. (I've a 1.8L that pulls 140HP and gets 37MPG combined)
Manuals are more fun, but popping the clutch is not good for them.
Traction control reduces accidents.
