Hello, all.....I test drove the 9-3 Aero manual today...What a rocket!..Reminds me of my 1991 SPG with juiced up APC box....
However, I have owned a 2001 9-5 sedan for the past three years and love the room and luxuriousness of the 9-5..
I also test drove a 2007 9-5 Aero 5 speed....More sluggish than the 9-3 ,, but the quality of the interior seemed better than the 9-3..
Just 2 quick examples....The steering wheel position controls in the 9-3 is a cheap feeling plastic lever UNDER the steering column...on the 9-5, it is a solid feeling lever on the left side...
Also, the directional stalk switch feels very plasticky on the 9-3, but feels stronger and less apt to break on the 9-5..
The 9-5 is Saabs best and most reliable product...However, is it OK to feel " safe " buyying a 9-3?...Have thery woerked out the bugs from model years 2003 thru 2005?
Thnx..
I know in the end it is my choice...Also, 95 % of my driving is on highways..Commuting 100 miles per day round trip...25,000 miles per year
Which would be the more comfy commuter car?
I am leaning towards the 9-5, but that awesome acceleration of the 9-3 Aero has got me thinking!!
