I recently picked up a new 9-3 Aero and I love it. It accelerates hard, rides and corners well and chicks dig it! Really the only complaint I have is it takes a second when you first key up to check the nav DVD before you can use the radio. I like the nav system but it's an expensive option so if you're not sure if you'll use it don't get it. (Nav system also takes up a spot for the CD changer so w/out nav you get, or can get, 6 disc changer; with nav you get single disc.)
The Aero has the 2.8L V6 turbo but after the test drives I thought the 2.0 I4 turbo had plenty of snort too. I'm not sure the Aero package is worth the extra $$$ but it must have been because I got it. I let a sweetie drive it last weekend, we'll see if that does me any good this weekend. She can drive stick so she's a keeper for sure.
