My '02 9-3 SE had a starter failure at about 90,000 km. Very unexpected of course. Check the accessory pulley on your alternator - that has been known to cause a wailing noise upon startup but then slowly quiets down after a minute or two. Most noticeable in colder temps (-10 to -15 celsius) when the bearing is failing.
Otherwise, a brilliant vehicle. And yes, I also bought the '02 because it was the last model year of the hatch. The perfect combination of utility and responsible, two-hands-on-the-wheel performance. The bonus for me was finding the SE version!
