and we have two 1999 9-3's. One is going in for the 20k miles service tomorrow and has only had the climate control knob problem which was fixed the first time. The other (my daily) has 17,000 trouble-free miles. I too use Mobil1 on both which I either do myself or give to dealer for a $30 charge - less $15 oil credit:) No non-maintainence problems or charges have arisen.
I too am baffled by the report as the other 9-3 owners I know have had good experiences as well.
Then again, in 1994 the Ford Explorer had excellent maint. and reliability marks, yet my '94 Explorer was nothing but trouble. I sold it after 18 months... and that was before the Firestone/Ford suspension controversy.
So my take on CarTalk is that it's not a very reiable or accurate source.
