What Edmunds Says

Roomy and fun to drive, the 9-3 is a solid buy among entry-level luxury cars. Just don't expect the razor-sharp reflexes and highly refined interiors of its German and Japanese competitors.

Pros

Handles well for a front-drive car, frugal yet powerful engines, generous passenger room, class-leading trunk space.

Cons

Suspension should be stiffer on Aero models, ride can be harsh over bumps, interiors lack upscale look and feel, weak stereos.
