What Car? says
For Looks live up to the Sport Wagon name; it's quick, too
Against Chassis can't cope with more powerful engines
Verdict
Looks the part, but the rest doesn't come up to scratch
Go for… 1.9 TiD 150 Linear
Avoid… 2.8 Aero
- 1. Watch for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned suspension
- 2. Leather trim, sat-nav and a good stereo system will make the car easier to sell
- 3. It has extremely comfortable seats and a sound driving position with a wide range of adjustment
- 4. If you have to carry large loads, the 9-3 may not be up to the job
- 5. Go for the 150bhp version of the 1.9-litre TiD turbodiesel - it's the best engine for this car
