9-3 test drive questions Posted by Camm [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hi,
I took an off lease 2000 9-3 base for a test drive last week. This was my first time driving a 9-3. The car started fine, sounded fine, but when I drove it, it did some funny stuff: 1.) when upshifting during accelerating, after pushing in clutch and letting off gas, the engine would hold its revs steady and increase slightly before falling slowly. 2.) The car boosted midway into yellow ( I wasnt really getting on it too hard) but felt very surge-y, like as if it was sensing knock and cutting back the boost. Apparently the car has sat for a while before I drove it. Anyone familiar with these symptoms? Is this a "drive it and it'll go away" or a "run, dont walk away from that car" thing? Car has 70k, dealer wants ~9900 for it.
Thanks,
Cam
