I bought my Saab in June at a reasonable price. About a month after I got it my map sensor went. But otherwise it's a great! Car

I bought my Saab 2 years ago becuase it had good reviews but ever since it hit 50K miles everything and anything has started to go wrong with it. Performance wise the car is great but as far as interior creature comforts there really are none. Major complaint is with the engine components mainly ignition, I've had to replace the chip that controls the ignition twice in 2 years and Saab won't do anything about it. In fanla car looks great but it's cheap under the hood and inside.

Being a SAAB fanatic (owned '88 conv., '95 900SE), I was looking for a reasonably-priced used sedan. 9-3's offer great value and lots of style, comfort, and power. 4-door hatchback offers tons of cargo room (please bring it back SAAB!). Automatic requires a heavier accelerator foot to get it moving, but when turbo kicks in it has great power! Lots of nice interior features to make you think you spent a lot more on the car. Reliability has been good, and SAAB service is great - if needed. I highly recommend this car, although performance freaks may want to grab the HO version that came out later in '99 with 200 vs. 185 hp.
GM influence shines through

I purchased my 99 convertible (4 year lease turn in) and thought I was buying a cream puff. However, I had to replace part of the front axle as well as numerous other little things that shouldn't be happening on a car with only 40k miles. The car goes down the road great. But beware that late model Saabs are laced with GM DNA and it shows. The build quality and fit and finish is not there and is not like the Saabs of old. Although these cars are still built in Sweden; the Detroit influence (cheap and unreliable) comes through. Saab is forced to used some GM Euro parts and it shows in the car. It's a real shame what GM is doing to this once great brand of car
