Rear head curtain airbags standard... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Thinking About a used 9-3 -, HD, Mon, 3 Sep 2007 17:49:52 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
There was/is no rear "side" airbag option for a 9-3SS, but they all came standard with head curtain airbags front and rear. In front there are side airbags in the seats as well as the head curtains. The 03's had more software issues owing to the new serial bus technology, but that was a much the learning curve of the techs as opposed to the actual car.
Some of the first 03 Linears had equipment you couldn't get in later Linears like xenons, 17" rims with the lower sport suspension, and the Infotainment radio head with the small display screen. 03 Arcs had real wood, but the 04s had fake wood IIRC, which is kinda' funny as some folks expressed a preference for the fake stuff. IIRC the 04 Arcs with premium package had really nice wood. 03's with the parchement interior had parchment carpets too match that soiled quickly, but it's easy to remedy by using dark mats.
Bustin' some memory cells here, but 04 Arcs had many standard 03 features moved to a premium package, stuff like the memeory drivers seat. 04's with 17" rims had the standard height suspension instead of the lower sport/Aero suspenion of the 03's.
It's all good, there's not a loser in the bunch, nothing to avoid, unless someone chimes in with 03 software issues. Mechanically they were all great.
