That's because it is one of the worst riding cars ever built. They rattle,squeak, the doors make a nice cracking sound as they age and the top assy will creak wildly if the bushings are not lubed. The new convert 9-3 is light years ahead of the old and even the old body(94 and down) crushes it like a grape.
In my estimation about every other one has come back for the first service with some form of complaint about the suspension or the steering.
I am sorry if I was too blunt but I would be willing to bet that the staunch defenders of the car will come from places where the road is flat and straight(Florida). If you live where there are potholes they are really an animal to drive.
