i really liked it. Loaner for my o4 linear which is having some minor warranty things looked at and fixed.
Presently have 04 9-3 linear (Wife') and 99 9-3 base auto (mine). I love my 99 9-3 with 91k but it is starting to feel older (rattles etc.) but engine is still great. Bay area seemed about the same although I liked how the seats went flat. Cargo liner on 99 seems more substanial but 06 liner is fine. 99 has larger angle to cram stuff inside whereas the sportcombi has less angled opening so may not be able to cramm some stuff in despite flat seats. Mileage better than my 99 auto base.
comparing sportcombi with 04 linear. I could tell the difference between the 175 lpt and the 210 hot. It was quicker around town and on the highway. The loaner sportcombi with 339 miles. City mpg's seemed less but highway seemed comparable.
Lots of glass to see in rearview mirror so visibility was pretty good. Seemed more solidly put together than the 04 with 20k on the odometer. Steering wheel improved both looks and feel. Little wood on door and by ignition. And i liked the sid area. Radio seemed a bit better.
I liked the sportcombi although my wife says it is a wagon (I guess it is)
+ review may be in my future in a few years. Laser red non metallic 06 2.0 just like the loaner.
