I got a 2003 9-3SE convertable from my dealer while my *new* 2000 9-3SE 5dr was in for service. It just didn't seem to have the same acceleration as my 2000. The 2003 felt more like my 1999 9-5 off the line. I'd punch it while in Sport Mode, but it just didn't have the umph I thought it should. Any ideas?
