Consumer magazines annoy me. One year the car is great and recommended, the next year it's junk and don't buy one. They like boring appliaces of cars. I just haven't found that kind of a variance in model years that turns them against some models.
Anything based on discussions on this site is gonna' feel negative, as this is a problem solving bulletin board. Every little issue that it is possible to have, has been beat to death on this BB.
Overall the 9-3 has been very, very good. Mechanical problems have been zilch, some small software issues have been cured.
Had you owned a previous older body style 9-3, a 2002 and earlier 9-3SE hatchback you would have had to endure endless rattles from the hatch, But the new 9-3 SportsSedans are very tight and no hatch to rattle.
BTW Consumers still likes the 9-5, this year anyway....
