2002 9-3 SE. They are about the same. A 2003 9-3SS Linear with Launch package and sport wheel package weighed 3260 lbs. and a 2002 9-3SE weighs over 3200 lbs. This is not signifigant. A tank of gas weighs over 100 lbs. since gas weighs 7 lbs. per gallon. So a mostly empty 9-3SS weighs less than a full 9-3SE.
The new car did gain some weight to get the increased rigidity and crash structure. But it lost weight in the engine compartment as they said on the chat. And it is very competitive weight-wise with the competition. In an independent comparison the weights were:
A4 1.8T Sport 3360 (no quattro)
BMW 325i Sport 3280
Jag X-type 2.5 Sport 3580
Merc C240 Sport 3345
Volvo S60 2.4 3260 (no turbo)
