2002 9-3SE 5dr = 3060 lb (base curb weight w/ standard equipment)
http://saabnet.com/tsn/models/2003/pr3.html
2003 9-3 = 3175-3285 lb (this number falls in line with the 3260 you quoted for an auto trans equipped linear)
Like I said, difference is the base numbers is about 50 kg, which is significant in my opinion.
The 2002 has half a gallon larger fuel tank. That's 3 lb.
Since when do we compare cars with empty fuel tanks to ones with full ones? By the same logic, I could tell you the 2002 is 1000 lb lighter, if the 2003 is loaded down with a family of 4 and their camping gear. Let's compare apples to apples, eh?
I'm more than willing to give the new car a chance, and recognize its strengths, but please, let's at least be fair.
