A likable sedan (and wagon) in numerous ways, but it lags behind the competition when it comes to providing class-leading luxury or performance. The wagon version, however, with its seductive style and superior functionality comes across much better.
Pros
Best-in-class crash scores, long list of standard features, plush highway ride, supportive seats, large trunk.
Cons
Turbo lag at low speeds, suspension too soft for aggressive driving, interior materials could use improvement.

What's New for 2003
After last year's extensive round of improvements, the 9-5 received only minor upgrades for 2003. All five-speed automatic-equipped models now have the Sentronic manual-shift feature with steering wheel-mounted controls. Ventilated sport seats are now optional on the Aero, while electronic stability control is now standard on all models.
