My thoughts
- Interior is OK, the cloth inserts look good, not great. The passenger grab handle that corresponds to the hand brake is pretty cheap. The instruments lay out fine and are ergonomically correct. I like the position of the SID. Seats were very comfortable. The butterfly cup holder is cool. It felt plenty roomy overall with more than adequate pedal and leg room. An upgrade over current 9-3
- It drives very nice. Yes there is no turbo lag or torque steer (Yeah)but for a 175 hp intro model it felt quick and very nimble. The suspension is awesome. It gives you a ton of confidence going through even the hardest curves. Bumpy roads were handled very comfortably.
When the Vector model arrives I think it will be a blast. Down the road with an Aero or Viggen model this will be an awesome automobile.
- As it is, at $26000 the base model is a good value and should compete very well in the marketplace.
Currently driving 02'Aero SW and wife drives '00 9-3 SE
