My GF's 2005 9-3 Linear is as close to being a piece of junk as you can get considering the the low mileage. Reliable? Sure. It starts and runs fine. BUT with only 34K I've had to replace sooooo many parts it's not funny. Let alone the construction materials inside are in one word -- cheap.
- All new rotors and pads at 34K (I can't recall ever seeing rotors so badly worn with such little mileage on them)
- Replaced the rear window mechanism (VERY expensive btw)
- New CD player (warranty - lasted only 4 years and 25K)
- New window switches (warranty - lasted 27K)
- Rubber around rear window started to chip away after 3 years or so.
- Coffee cup holders front and back broke (warranty - replaced at 30K)
The 05 9-3 Linear is as close to a disposable car as I've seen considering the original price. The construction materials are some of the cheapest plastic I've seen.
