Saab 9-3 Aero, What do you all think? Options

[CelicaQT]

I'm thinking about getting a new car. I'm interested in the Saab 9-3 Aero. What do you all think? I'm still going to keep the Celi though, there's no way I'd sell her...she's my baby.
This will be my work car. I'm thinking about taking advantage of the European Delivery program they have. Where I can pick up my Saab in Sweden.

Features:

*2.0T turbocharged engine
*210 hp and 221 lb. ft. of torque
*5-speed manual gearbox
*Lowered sport-tuned chassis
*17" twin 5-spoke alloy wheels, all-season tires
* Leather-appointed sport seats
*Electrically adjustable front seats
*Memory settings for driver's seat and exterior mirrors (optional)
*Metallic-finish trim
*Dual-zone Automatic Climate Control (ACC)
*Remote opening for windows and moonroof (optional)
*Cooled glove compartment
*Saab Infotainment with 300W and 13 speakers

MSRP: $34,700 +/-

I'm thinking after my discount and all the incentives minus the $2000 cash for the European Delivery Program it'll run my total to maybe $27,000-$28,000.

the only saab i would ever consider would be a 9.2x aero, and even then, its a rebranded subaru WRX wagon

My friend that just got the 9-2X Aero. It's really nice. Turbo on it is amazing.

As for the Evo or Wrx, I thought of that but really wasn't too solid on it like I am with the 9-3. I guess in a way I need a "buisness" car. lol If I were to choose between the 2 I'd get the Evo though. My friend had a 2002 WRX, turboed and everything, but it was a gas guzzler. Had to fill up like every 4 days. He had to sell it bcus he and his g/f were expecting and needed something more family oreinted. He misses it a lot!

from my experience 21-22 mpg isnt very good.....not that Im knocking the wrx because its my top choice for a car. Maybe Im just used to the 30mpg eco cars.
