S60 vs 9-3

For the people amongst you reading my posts on questions on a future model 9-3, or to buy the present model: I made the decission and bought a Volvo S60 base (140 HP, 220 Nm @ 2000-3500 rpm). The difference with the present 9-3 is striking on all levels (although the S60 is a little more expensive:
- road stability is incomparible
- comfort (9 cm wider inside and outside)
- incredible quiet (no rattle or anaything just total silence!)
In particular the platform of the S60 is much stiffer than the one of the 9-3.
The 9-3 is a good car, 10 years ago. The engines are still up to date.
Don't buy a 9-3 now. In September the new 9-3 based on the Epsilon platform is most likely presented at the Frankfurt auto show (it was too late for me.
In the future I will follow Saab's developments with particular interest.
Good luck, and drive safely,
Dutchman
