The only negative thing I've heard about the 9-3 is that fuel > economy is supposed to be very poor - quoted in a recent magazine review as > 23-25mpg on a good day. I've got a manual 1.8t; I get around 32-33mpg. The only comment I would have is that the capacity of the tank seems a bit small for the size of the car and the fuel consumption - I seem to have to fill up more often compared to my previous car. If you're that bothered about fuel economy, what about a diesel? Glenn.
