I find it's just to small for a car with a 1400 kg curb weight. This will mean either annoyingly short gears or massive shifting to keep the revs up. If they wanted a normally aspirated engine, why didn't they opt for a normally aspirated version of the same 2.0 engine used in the other models? I also think the 9-3 2.0 (the previous model) was underpowered. I owned one for about 2 years. In everyday driving my current 9-3 Tid is much quicker, without having to floor it everytime you want to accellerate. Mark
