Hi,
Used to have a '96 9000 5 spd JZW tune, loved the car!
So I have an '08 9-3 Combi.
Very solid car, great space.
Recently I have come to hear about a problem with the intake valves prematurely wearing leading to a ~$2000 valve job.
This can occur on 2.0's from '07-'10.
As the cars age, more people are experiencing it.
Its unclear what percentage of these cars will suffer this defect.
This info might make the '06-'09 9-5 combi more appealing or the v6 9-3.
There is a thread about it on the "other forum" at the top of the page
Peter
'08 9-3 2.0T
