I'm looking into a 2007 9-3 2.0t for my next car and was wondering what they are like to own on a day to day basis? Reliability wise etc!
Also what are they like for towing? As I have a race car/trailer combo around 1300kgs
Cheers

Hi ive got a 56 1.8t cab,

Never towed with it,
The only gripe we have, the trim although not horrible jap quality,
its better but abit flimsy if you see what i mean.

Everyone seems to rave about a noobtune remap, but weve not had it done so i wouldnt know

I tow with a 2006 2.0T Auto Estate.

It tows really well. For the money I can't fault it.

It's been super reliable only needing crank sensor in the last 2 years.

I've got a 57 2.0T 9-3 estate and love it, only problem in the last year was a leaking fuel filter (yikes!) and the struggle to keep her at a decent MPG. Never used her for towing but she'll do 40+ MPG loaded with bikes etc on a long run. About town expect it to be mid 20's!
I'd have another, as would my wife.
