Yes, I drove a new 9-3 (pre-production Linear) and I found that the body leans less while cornering... Also, the steering feels crisper and more precise, very BMW-like! The new 9-3 feels so nimble!
I love my 9-5, but it feels a bit sloppy during abrupt, high speed lane-change maneuvers (not that I usually do those!). But say you abruptly change into the left lane: after you're in the left lane, I find that the 9-5 needs more steering correction (to the right) than other cars do. Also, there seems to be more body roll than there should be, given the stiff suspension... what's the best way to correct this?
