From the cnn article:
"The survey included responses from the owners of 810,000 vehicles. The survey was conducted in the spring of 2004 and covered 1997 to 2004 models. The ratings are based on the number of problems per 100 vehicles in the survey"
If half of the 9-3 owners surveyed listed squeaky brakes, shifting from first to second, speaker rattle, wonky key fob, then that could pull the rating down, by their methodology. Those particular problems don't necessarily mean that the car will far apart in 4 years. I don't remember CR's rating: did it cover the 93-SS only, or all 9-3 since 97? Bit of a difference, I'd say.
