My impression was that it was more spacious than the old 9-3 and is now an acceptable alternative to the 9-5. That said, prices seems a bit steep, not much different from the 9-5. I looked at a options price list, it was something like: (approximately from memory: Metallic paint: £400 Paint protection: £300 (Odd, as it is normally part of metallic paint) Leather insert in front doors: £200? (You wouldn't expect plastic trim?) Sports suspension: £250 (Should probably be taken with care) Plus... With a few little options, the price is sure to mount up. Johannes
