2 of my friends have matching 99 Jetta's and my girlfriend has 2000 9-3. hands down (and friends will admit to this), the comfort, the smooth ride and the handling is much better than the Jetta.
it's a stiffer ride in the Jetta and of course, slower than the 9-3. i too at first thought the Jetta's were a bit better than the new 9-3, but now it's clear to me that the Jetta fails in a few ways. with all of this said, when it comes to a difference of $10K, and it was the breaking point, i'd be very happy in a new Jetta.
i'm not gonna spew industry numbers, but i will tell you, i still feel 100% safe in the 9-3, regardless of how many STARS they are rated at.
you want Farvegnuggen, more power to you, but you'll find the 9-3 to be a bit more personalized. what do i mean by that? it's sort of intangible and impossible to describe, but, i've taken NUMEROUS long term road trips in both the Jetta's and the 9-3, and it's a simple choice to me (when not counting dollars). the 9-3 all the way.
oh yeah, let's not forget that i'm on my 4th 900 ;) and i am the most biased of them all :)
Another Saab!
