I don.t know if it sold in the US, but the 9-3 with normally aspirated 1.8 litre Vauxhall/Opel/ GM Ecotec is an extremely economical car for its size, albeit without sparkling accelaration,
but in an excellent chassis(SAAB designed, with rear wheel steering) with good brakes, ride, roadholding.And cheap to buy used. Change the timing belt/waterpump every 36000 miles-parts prices are cheap-e.g waterpump $36- any garage can work on them, Spare keys, in England, are easy to get incidentally, and parts are readily available.
