I'm 2.5 years into my 3 year lease. Overall, I think this car is a good value compared to its price range like v6 Accords and Camrys. Very versatile with the hatch. Initial quality was good and I've had no major maintenance issues. The power is great when at full boost in 2nd and 3rd gear. Torque steer, understeer, excessive body lean, and a lack of chassis rigidity hamper this car.

I've already clocked over 6000 miles but it hardly feels like I've done a thousand. I have had so much fun driving this car, more than any other I've owned. For Quality,Comfort, performance, Value for money and individuality, there isn't a car that I've seen or driven lately that can beat it...Love IT, best thing I have ever bought.

Fun to drive, but a horrible car. Mine has 22,000 miles on it...been towed 3 times, AC broke, ignition problems, creaks and rattles constantly, rotors needed to be replaced twice. Fortunately it's leased and I am getting rid of it in a year. Thank god! Stay away from SAAB. Over priced and sub standard.
Saab is good for you

I bought a Saab 93. It has many standart options and also safety features such as ABS, side airbags... It is a fast car, no turbo lag as others claim. I like its style, it is different from the other mass market cars. Hope the new model will be as quirky as the current one.
Viggen underappreciated for price

At list, the Viggen isn't a very good deal, but at the price we paid, its awesome. We bought our Viggen for a bit more than the price of a loaded Maxima or Passat, or a pretty base A4. For that we got a car with huge interior, gorgeous styling, awesome acceleration, rewarding and engaging handling, really well thought out details, and that lovely Saab leather smell. For 10k less than an S4 Avant less we got similar performance, much more room, and a unique car. Yes, it is an older design, and there are some quirks, but you can take advantage of that and make a screaming deal. Remember when you're comparing cars to compare at the price you'll actually end up paying.
