This is from the link that Scott posted:

"TT problems as of 06/15/2000

1 scratched front panel (Euro license plate shaped) upon delivery. Repainted
2 Short in right rear taillight, affected interior lights. Repaired
3 Bubble in tire, replaced
4 Loose driver's seat, removed and re-mounted
5 Rear shelf rattle. Replaced shelf
6 Faulty ignition switch, replaced
7 leaky driver's door triangular window. Replaced track and seal.
8 Bad instrument cluster, replaced
9 Bad instrument cluster #2, replaced
10 transmission hard/impossible to shift into first gear, changed gear oil after 3 week wait for "part", works great now
11 * Leather rubbing thin on driver's seat, nothing can be done
12 Return to dealer after voluntary recall suspension/spoiler installed to 1. retrieve trim piece 2. straighten steering wheel
13 Refund of money for front end cover, was falling apart at the seams, literally
14 Mushy brakes, bled under warranty
15 windshield washer nozzle not spraying on window. Replaced
16 * Rear of seat clicks upon gravitational shift, not repaired as of yet.
17 * passenger's seat creaks badly with passenger in it, no problem found
18 driver's seat creaks badly, fixed as unpredicted side effect of #4
19 bumper cover rattled under license plate. loosened and re-tightened bolts, fixed.
20 doors would not unlock and overhead lights would not turn off if door lock button pushed before starting car. Reprogrammed central locking system, fixed.
21 * Car sputters / and or stalls upon cold start. Car kept overnight, nothing wrong found. Happened 4 times in last week.
22 * Left speakers cut out very rarely. Unable to reproduce at dealer, so I didn't even bother to inform.
23 hatch had to be slammed hard to be closed as delivered, adjusted "

Of course, this is only one person's experience, but is that really much better "by far" than the 9-3? Also, how is it possible determine that is a car is so much better than another based on looks? Don't you need to drive it and weigh the pros and cons of your needs first? I'm not really sure, I've never bought a new car.
