That last sentence is relevant for 900 owners. My 1996 900 had limited front-end travel and NYC potholes wrecked the upper arm bushings twice! The brochure for the 9-3 mentions that there are many improvements but specifically notes that the front end travel / dynamics are improved. Judging from my 1999 9-3, I concur and suggest that this is a real advantage. Kal
