Subject: Few more 9-3 comments


Hi, Now that I've had my 9-3 for around 4 months I have a few refined comments... 1. I like the center console very much but have a little concern about the ignition key being there. I think that there should be some sort of lock that a person can set on it so that one's passenger can't accidently end up shutting off the car while shifting around, moving their feet etc on a long journey. This hasn't happened yet, and is probably hard to do, but given murphy's law. 2. I think Saab should have supplied a full spare since I think that's a safety related issue. 3. It's too bad that the floor of the back isn't totally flat and instead had that ridge when having everything folded down. 4. It would be nice to have an amp gauge thrown in somewhere instead of just in the warning system. I hope that would fire off not just when things were to become critical. 5. The dash cup holder is cute but not a great idea if one's coffee spills, given the slope of the dash it would be dripping into every crack. 6. It would be nice to have lumbar support for the passenger side seat. 7. The overhead reading lights would be better if made more like a spotlight (like on other cars) where a passenger can read without creating too much distraction for the driver at night. 8. My rear mirror starts a fine vibration when going faster than 85. I don't know if I'll fix that since it's sort of a speed warning system :) 9. On my stereo (cassette) it would be nicer to just be able to play tapes without the radio coming on while ejecting a tape in order to play another. That also causes the antenna to activate during those few seconds during that transition. Of course one could just shut off the system, switch tapes and then turn it on, but that would be stupid. 10. Wish that remote was a smaller size. 11. Could use two lights instead of one in the hatch. With stuff stored, the angle of the light is so easily blocked that it really doesn't illuminate much within. So, that was a lot of negatives but I should mention that everything else is just great. And it is, a really great car, beyond expectations, highly recommended!! I hope this was an interesting list for those enthusiasts or those thinking of purchasing.
