Bought the car since three neighbors had them (as old as 900 series from 10 years ago). All relatively reliable. Mine has been great on gas mileage (26 city, 34 highway), has good acceleration, and appears well built. After 6000 miles and 7 months no problems yet as a few have reported. Car rides well and like the sport suspension. Would not choose differently.

Leased my 9-3 Aero 2/06, previously had '03 Arc. Although the Arc was fun to drive, this Aero is a totally different car. The new turbocharged V-6 has significantly less turbo lag, way more satisfying exhaust note, tons of torque. This car absolutely loves to be driven fast, bummer given the number of speedtraps around Seattle. Looks are greatly improved with dual exhaust, lid spoiler. 4k miles so far without any real issues. Only thing is moonroof wanting to stick in tilt mode. Fit and finish not quite up to BMW/Audi/Benz standards, but then again, this car was a hell of a lot cheaper with comparable equipment.

The car is awesome and the engineering is incredible. The car is for my wife and I am very confident in the safety and reliability of the car. Picked up the car and drove it 3000 miles for christmas vacation and enjoyed it totally. Lots of power and very comfortable. I am 6'3" and 320lbs and would drive cross country without any reservations of comfort, performance, handling, fuel economy, and safety.

Beautiful when you're single or dating, or married with no kids. Not a family car. Fun beyond belief to drive. However, way too many little annoying problems, rattling noises all over the interior after 25000 miles. Electrical problems day in and day out (radio, windows, sunroof, blinkers). In a few words: I regret buying this car and I do not recommend it. Don't forget, all NEW cars ride nice at the beginning but not all stay that way.
