I heard the door close on the friends 9-3 with 100K, similar mileage as mine, and it clattered quite a bit. Not the nice thunk with the 9-5.
I looked at the 9-3 Aero after owning a 9-5 Aero back in 2000. A JZW tune for $299 goes just as far as a $900 9-3 Aero tune both ending with similar power. In the end the 9-5 was much less expensive and could see 40 mpg on the highway that I spend 600 miles a week on. Besides the 9-5 is so much less expensive to maintain. The 1/4 numbers for Brian's VTune stage 0 & 1 were not that impressive today's world. I know my old 9-5 Aero with Nordic stg lll could hang with a E39 M5 from 100-130 mph. Why would you need much more?
