We're about to buy/lease a '99 9-3 with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car drove great on the test drive, except it was tricky starting off in 1st gear compared to what i am used to. I assume this is due to the turbo. I read a review that said this can be dengerous when making a left turn at an intersection, meaning it can be slow off the mark. But then I saw elsewhere how fast it accelerates! I'm confused. Any comments on this, or the 9-3 in general?? Would you recommend it?? Thanks!!
