There would have to be a serious defect for the car to compress upon the full travel of the suspension and hit against the bump stops and drag itself along the road. That would make the car very unsafe and your dealer would want to fix it, but you say they describe the car as normal?
So it must be something else. One easy test for the shocks is just to bounce the car with your hands by pushing on the fender. Does it settle right down or does it go back and forth 3 time or more? Do you perhaps have a clunk or something loose?
Suspension compliance is not a 9-3 strong suit, but the suspension does have generous travel. Have you driven a different 9-3 to compare?
