They also mentioned that the back was one of the roomiest, and the car was one of the fastest and the hatch makes it the most practical.
The car does ride rough. Most of the other cars have dampers that have the similar type of valving that the Konis do to make the ride more comfortable while increasing handling. My car rides much better with the Konis.
I think in that test the tires that were on it were a stop-gap. Goodyears?
Putting that much power in a FWD car is going to make for some interesting driving if you don't learn to feather the gas.
I've never had a problem with the brakes. I think they're great. Perhaps they took it through the carwash and "hot-waxed" the rotors? :)
Regardless of their test, with a few minor adjustments, my 9-3SE is a joy to drive with lots of power to boot.
ps. Car and Driver has never been a fan of Saab so if a Saab even gets a good review, the 9-5Aero for instance, you'll have to pump up what they say even more.
