Any other opinions about this 9-3 2.2TiD? > I use this car since end of May and drove 9.300 KM with it. It asked for oil after 5000 KM, i filled in half a liter and now itĄs ok. If you do not switch too early into 2nd gear, itĄs fun to drive (280 nm) A bit weak at lower RPM, but smooth when you drive 180-190 km/h (donĄt try this in Skandinavia ;-) ) And the best of all, when traveling through Sweden, it took only 6 liter Diesel to 100 km with lights on and automatic clima control and not much more when i drive it faster through Germany. I would choose it again. Christian www.christian-westphalen.de
