Used 2001 Saab 9-3 Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Saab's Are Awesome
Saabs are very good cars and are very fast. They are also very comfortable too.
Dependable and fun
I have been very happy with my 9-3, especially for mountain driving in Colorado. The turbo provides plenty of power on steep hills and the acceleration is very smooth. The suspension is good, but could be a bit stiffer for my tastes. The car is fantastic in the snow (especially with snow tires on it). The interior has held up well and is showing negligable wear.

Well built car thats fun to drive!
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.
Love this car!
So much fun to drive. Reliable, no significant issues, even with car over 100k miles!
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!
