Drove a new 03 for a couple of days...

and I found two things I did not like, enough to keep me away from owning one anyway;
1.too much cowl shake, too flexy of a chassis, this will be lots of squeaks and rattles later, a lot worse than my wife's Audi TT Roadster (this car has a bit of cowl shake too)
2.due to extra reinforcement attempts on the part of Saab, I find the footwells too narrow, bad news for person with big feet. A lot narrower than the ones on the 9-3 coupes and sedans
It (95-03) NG-900/9-3 has to be one of the best looking verts with the top up though, and the top is well crafted, and quiet for a vert. Good headroom too.
