I have my 9-3SS linear with the sports package for about 4-5 months now. My previous ride was a 1995 900 SET Conv. and unfortunately, I never got the change to drive an SPG in order to compare with yours, but...
The goods in my opinion:
- Excellent handling.
- Some people don't, but I love the engine noise.
- I really like the shape of the car and also the instrument panel.
- You still get exclusivity with this car. I only saw 3 or 4 in Montreal during this time.
- No turbo lag whatsoever.
- Very, very, very stable at extremely high speeds (I have tried it).
The BAD:
- First year production so it has some problems. I suggest you wait 1 or 2 years.
- Quite a few rattles for a car at this price.
- I wish it had a bit more power. I have tried the Vector and it's about the same off the line.
- I had it in the garage 4 times already: replace squeaky pads (known problem), airbag module replaced, steering wheel column replaced, sunroof squeaks.
Hope that helps.
