I just couldn't get the same quality in the VOLVO. Have you driven the C70?? The shakes and rattles in that cat makes the 9-3 look like the best built swedish car. I wanted a C70, but got a 9-3SE instead. Loads more fun (but the C70 stereo is 100 times better..)
The 850 is good, but too bulky. The T5 version is a blinder, but most have been driven to death by their previous owners.
But I can honestly say that SAAB have the edge in the build quality and performance stake. I have owned 4 Volvos and 2 SAABs and Iknow which one gets more respect amongst my friends and other road users. Plus the fact that the 9-3 can take almost as much luggage as the 850 estate! Wife plus 3 kids plus luggage on a holiday is no problem.
By the way, the 9-3 is built on the same production line as the Porsche Boxer.
