the Arc is quite nice at 210 hp.Having owned 2 9-5s,I would say that the 9-3 is a way better car,it is much more reliable and a better design especially the 4 cylinder.The ignition coils are individual,the belt does not have idler pulleys or problems like the 9-5.The exhaust is routed around the oil pan ,instead of directly underneath and cooking the oil,as in the 9-5.Currently own an 06 with 70k ,and an 08 with 60k,both have been trouble free.Some early models have a front spring problem that has a recall,and sometimes the front stabilizer links need replacing when noisy.And also the rear breaks wear down before the front ones!
