Hello all,
Just bought an Espresso Black Metallic 9-3 Linear with Parchment interior, and I'm enjoying it (within limits, as I break it in). I will give a complete review and comparison with my NG900 sometime later, but I have some questions...
1 - How much did your fuel economy improve after break-in? 1%, 5%?
2 - Since it uses that paper filter, shouldn't it be easy to change the oil yourself? I might do that pre-15,000 mile change myself. I just have to find somebody that will take the used oil.
3 - I looked for confirmation that I can use the AUX jack on my car. Thanks to those of you who wrote to me and it sounds like it will, but in the owner's manual it says the AUX jack works for Saab Infotainment with no mention of it working with Saab Audio (base system). I bought that Taliaferro European adaptor and I'm waiting for it, hope I can actually use it. Otherwise, I will have to get factory installed XM Radio.
4 - Does that spoiler on the Aero really improve aerodynamics?
5 - What is the true offset difference between NG900 wheels and 9-3 SS wheels? Would the dealer have an issue with warranty if I put NG900 wheels on my new 9-3SS? (Cleaning those 10-spoke 16" wheels is a pain and I still love my 9-5 3-spoke 16 inchers.)
6 - Anybody try putting a mountain bike in the trunk with the rear seats folded down, (with or without the wheels)? Does it fit?
7 - Do you think I can change the dismal rear speakers to better ones with better high end response, add my Infinity BassLink and get sound almost as good the factory uplevel system?
Thanks in advance for any answers you might have,
Atul
