A wierd thing about the 9-3. I thought mine handled reasonably well, but it was still a little unsatisfying. The other day I increased the front tire pressure to 34 PSI, and left the rears at 32. With this minor change, the handling is DRAMATICALLY improved. It turns in more agressively, and understeer is considerably reduced. I also find the steering wheel feedback is greatly improved and I have much more confidence at taking high speed corners. Try this and let me know what you think if you own a 9-3 as well. (BTW I have a base 9-3 with 15" wheels) Mark In article <19981211154501.08228.00001150nopsamc2.aol.com>, baur323nopsamcomNOSPAM says... > >I really like the looks of the 9-3 & 5.
