I have had a 02 9-3 4d se for a year and a half now and its cost me over 4k in maint and repairs! I am assuming this isn't normal. Just this month I have had onve 2500 in repairs. First the exhaust and something else had to be replaced and now the air compressor a few little things. I am now seriously considering looking at getting out of the car but I put all this money in so I would rather not and I love the car. However what can I expect to go next? I have 71k on the car now. I fear that it will need a transmission or a radiator soon jsut cause thats what the service guy said is common. Can I expect these to last to 100k? How much would i be looking at for repairs? Any advice would be helpful. I am considering cars such as the G35, TSX, N06 Civic Si and some others. I feel Ive been spoiled by the driving experience of the 9-3 so now I only want premium cars however I don't want the maint issues that came along with the 9-3. Any suggestions?
