I should have bought one of those, too. I fell in love during the test drive.

I made the "mistake" of driving it first of all the cars I had planned on test driving, and after experiencing the turbo, all the non-turbo cars just seemed plain sluggish. It's been a great car so far. I especially like the simple but elegant interior.

good luck, my boyfriend had a 2006 9-3 sportcombi that just went back at the end of the lease a couple months ago. it was nothing but a huge headache, everything that could have gone wrong did. he has nothing but bad things to say about saabs, and he works for GM!

I've read some of the 9-3 horror stories, seems like they were especially prominent in the 2003 models. I decided I was willing to take the risk. I'll be buying the GMPP extended warranty shortly before 36k, though, just in case.

dsm ease of attaining power ftw.

is that a gli or jetta, ya a bigger engine might help also
Yea, I miss my DSM so much. So don't be surprised if I go back, although I would like to get a more "mature" car. If that makes sense...

It is a Jetta with the 17" wheels..

Yanks call this an Optima, but in Canada it's a KIA Magentis.

EX-V6, 5 speed auto. Love it madly.

PS: It's actually dark red, but it can look black, brown, what-have-you, depending on the ambient lighting.

For a second I thought that said that the cars model was a Meningitis.

more mature? the dsm had the 4G63 inline4 right? find a good evo 9! 4dr= more practical right? :D

haha.. good call on the Evo, but I admit I hate the interiors. I mean "mature" as in something a grown professional man would drive...

As much as I love 2g DSM's, they are known as a kids car.

:(

Finally took possession of it... and it's rained for three days straight. Still got 100 miles on it despite that; but tomorrow looks nice and sunny...

It's got an upgraded sound system and tinted windows. Wanted to do interior mods first before worrying about the exterior too much but this summer I plan to lift it 3" and put some bigger, more aggressive tires on 'er.

Love my X.

For speed, I got the M35 that you can see in the background.

Happy 19th, nidserz. That's a hell of a gift. Take care of it.

That is almost an exact clone of my mothers Chrysler Sebring interior. Comes as no surprise, though, considering they're the same, albeit rebranded, car.

Here's a few pics of my 2002 Sebring Convertible LXi that I picked up 2 weeks ago. :) It's the luxury model with power everything and leather seats, I love it.

My 2000 Concorde was getting in rough shape. I took my mothers old car, which is a 2001 Chrysler LHS. Pretty near great condition considering it has over 100,000 miles:

Love the LHS, absolutely gorgeous car and still looks great today. As for the Impala, I can vouch for you on that one. My grandfather has '06 SS, and it's a damn good car.

Yeah.. Amazing that the LHS was designed in the mid-late 90s, and yet its curves have not gone out of style. Like wizwaz3 said, the LH line has aged well.

My mom loves the Impala; we just took it home lastnight. It's nice to see a car all brandy new and shiny for that first week or two.... Then, dirt and clutter and...........

My brother just got one of these in silver, and he absolutely loves it. Big step up from his 2006 Nissan Sentra, and 2003 Mustang he had before it.
