Have any of you guys had any experiences of these cars?

Yes.

Good value used at the moment because the company has gone down the pan.
However, an 08 car shouldn't be too bad, as lots of the earlier problems had been ironed out by then, and these 9-3's had a much better fit n finish from 07 onwards.
TiD engine isn't too bad, being the widely used GM-Fiat unit, and they respond well to a remap

It's not a BMW or Audi, but they arn't as bad as many would have you believe. Parts supply shouldn't be an issue either.
