This is a very well built car that is loads of fun to drive. The 4cyl turbo is so smooth one can hardly tell its a 4cyl. The exterior design is beautiful and is different from all the "Cookie Cutter" cars out there. I have had VW's, Audi's, Mazda's, and Toyota's and I would rank this one up there in quality. My car has 40k miles and has had no issues.

We leased this vehicle new. We average 12000 miles per year. It's been a joy. Completely reliable, 23 avg mpg since new with 75% local and 25% highway miles. Our dealership is responsive and wonderful to work with. We looked at the new model and while it's impressive, we feel that the residual value of our vehicle makes it too attractive not to buy.

Uniquely Saab- Seattle

We have enjoyed this car for 4 years. We have never had a problem and don't expect one.We drive it in all weather coditions- No Problem. No better investment then owning a ragtop in Seattle. We are considering replacing it with a new 9.3 conv.. Dealership experience has been exceptional. I scratch my head wondering why Saabs depreciate as they do. They are a great buy for the money.If you are a educated and responsible owner and service your car appropriately, as we have, then Saab is your car.
Fun to drive - more power than expected

I was not looking for a Saab when I fell in love with this car. I was looking to get into a Mercedes C240 or a BMW 325, but the salesman mentioned the Saab was worth a test drive. I said "what the hell" and the next thing I know I was putting money down on the Saab to hold it. This car is really a joy to drive and I was really surprised with the power from a 4 cylinder. Plus I saved $10K. Saab is a very under-rated car.
Love to hate it

I won't buy a Saab again. The only reason I bought it was the unique style. I bought it new and it has been in the shop MANY MANY times. Now that it is out of warranty, its becoming quite annoying, but it's paid for, and the repairs are cheaper than a car payment. Saab has lost its style. The new ones look just like Audi and BMW. Too bad, unique style was the only thing going for it. Anyway, beware if you buy. Many quirky problems, hard to find & expensive repair shops. Oh, and the car really depreciates which is another reason I haven't ridded myself of it yet... can't bear to take the loss. I would only recommend this car if you have a reliable car to drive while its in the shop!
