I had the cold weather creak on my '99 9-3 base. I reported this at every cold weather service visit. The dealer reported lubricating and tightening something each time. This year the problem continued and worsened even as spring arrived. In its final mode, the creaks occurred at temps up to 40 deg and continued for 10 minutes/5 miles of drive vs. the typical 1-2 minutes. The dealer said it was the bushings and not to worry-this was typical of these cars. When I said that was a strange feature for a car designed/built in a cold climate he agreed.
For this and many other reasons I have given up. This vehicle ends my 3 vehicles/22 years driving a Saab. Last night I turned in the 9-3 and took delivery on an '05 Legacy GT.
