Used 2001 Saab 9-3 Consumer Reviews
Don't let others scare you!
This is a great car! Many say the reliablilty of Saabs isn't up to par, but this is my third and I have yet to have any of the horror stories that many others claim. The turbo is great, the interior is comfortable, and with the top down, it's seriously fun. Even the trunk has considerable room, and the seats fold down. The heated seats are great in cold weather, and the sound system is impressive for a stock one. I recommend this to anyone. It looks great and will impress many.
I hate cars but I love my Saab!
I love my car.

Fire Hazard
I love the unique look of the Saab. The dealer sales experience was wonderful. That's the good part. The reality is the dealer service is horrible, they treat you like a child. The car is not reliable, as it has left me stranded 3 times in a year. The last issue in July as a potential fire hazard. Over 1/4 tank of gas poured out of the gas tank (broken fuel line bracket to the tank). One spark and my family could have been dead. Bet you have never had a Fire Dept. Engine come out to certify your cars' safety, well I have. Dealer was very nonchalant about the issue. Saab Legal is also not accepting any responsibility to re- purchase this lemon.
Love convertibles but lots of headaches
This is my third (and priciest) convertible and have had it for 25 months with almost 20K miles. Has been at the dealer three times this year with a check engine light problem, fuses for the convertible top had problem and recently, towed in for a bad fuel pump that leaked gallons of gasoline! While I appreciate the many gifts and apology letters from Saab, for high cost and inconvenience, will have to look elsewhere for the 4th!
