Definitely turns headsSource: Cars.com...I've been asked if it was a porche or BMW by the lesser Saab educated individuals. The car looks great. It's the front end that seperates this car(asthetically) from it's competitors. Handling is great with a fair amount of body roll and slight understeer accelorating hard out of corners. I live in Colorado and this car is a dream to drive in the mountains, especially on I-70. Doing 75-80 mph up to vail pass without skipping a beat. Oh, and all the while you have been gripping the steering wheel with a kool aid smile you realize..I'm getting 27mpg?!?! Excitement overwhelms as your right foot... |

Best test drive I have had wih a 4cy carSource: Cars.com...I have always owned German or Japan made vehicles. I had a BMW318is 92 that I gave to my father with 320000 miles, yes 320k, which the Saab replaced. The Saab 9-3 has a lot of hills to climb before reaching the 320k miles. Base on my research of the many cars I drove within $$25k to $$35k. This was the first car that said, (take me home) test drove this Saab 9-3 and pick it up within a week. I was very surprise, especially when is assemble with GMC parts, except the transmission and the engine, thought."... |

Really good carSource: Cars.com...I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market of something like an Audi A4 or BMW 3- series. It may not be for all, but for those who can appreciate the understated Scandinavian design and quirky interior touches, you will be very pleased. Keep in mind that test drives are still free, so try out everything in your price range before you buy it. Performance is great in the car as well. Go easy on the gas pedal and you can easily achieve over 30MPG highway. The nice thing about the small turbo is tons of power when you need it, but a small, efficient engine when you don't... |

Saab 9-3 WarningsSource: MSN Autos...Having owned two 9-3's, it was very evident that the problems were a pattern, because the same problems occurred in both of my cars. I still have a sentimental attachment to Saabs, but am smart enough to not buy another one. The last Saab 9-3 that I bought had only 60,000 miles, but I spent an additional $5,000 within 3 years. Unfortunately, they are just too expensive to maintain, even if you take great care of them. Overall: Perhaps the newest models are better than the ones that I have previously owned, but based on my experience, I want to recommend Saabs, but I unfortunately cannot... |

2008 saab 9-3Source: Cars.com
..."So happy I bought this car spent 2 months trying to find the right one at the right price and sure did. |

Great car with a few annoyances but no regretsSource: Cars.com...Prior model years had a confusing dash layout and some technical problems that were ironed out by 2007, while later models were the victim of some unfortunate changes to the exterior. The more angular headlights and grille on the 2008 and later models look rather desperate to my eye, while the clamshell hood gives the car a droopy profile. Finally, the 2007 sixtieth anniversary edition that I purchased has a number of desirable features, such as topstiched seats, gorgeous 17" wheels (the car looks better proportioned with the larger wheels), fog lamps, and XM radio. My 9-3 also has a 6-speed... |

Love my SaabSource: Edmunds
...I bought my 1999 9-3 for 6k with 45k miles on it. Since then I have put 55k on it with minimal repairs. |
