I've had TWO 03 9-3 Linears. The first was a Company car (my choice but Company leased) - probably among the first 03's on the road and it was a Dog with a capital D. Electrics cut-out twice while the car was in motion with the loss of all power steering braking and everything else - very scary and frankly, life threatening.
I changed jobs and BOUGHT another 03 9-3 new, which I've just passed along to my wife with 107k miles (that's the car not the wife) and I've enjoyed every one of those miles.
Bottom line: early 03's were a liability; late 03's were much better. If your budget could stretch to 04's I think you'd take a lot of the gamble out of any prospective purchase.
