In the family:
2006 9-3 CV Auto 2.0 - 150k miles. top was replaced a couple of years ago, drippy rear main seal, slight loss of coolant, not sure from where yet.
2006 9-3 SS stick 2.0 - 120k miles. Solid overall, remains the best handling car I've ever driven.
2008 9-3 SC stick 2.0 - 110k miles. Pretty good, I'm told I'll be needing the dreaded head rebuild common on some '08s.
2010 9-3 SS stick 2.0 - 100k miles. Good so far.
I've been through a boatload of C900s, still have my '90 SPG. The new gen 9-3s have been far less needy than the C900s, in my experience, however none of them has yet reached the stratospheric mileage experienced with the older cars. YMMV.
