Viggen underappreciated for price

2002 Saab 9-3 Viggen 4dr Hatchback (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

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.

I bought this car for my wife replacing a 4 years old BMW 328i. We feel we have lost 10% in peformance and gained 35% in styling and pleasure. The Viggen convertable is a fun car that can well please both my wife and myself. Also drove a 9-3 converatble (not Viggen). There is a world of difference. I would not have traded my BMW for a regular 9-3.

Bought w/200 miles on it. Fun to drive, amazing acceleration, 30 mpg on highway, to me it looks sharp and has very nice classy lines, one of the most unique cars, costs less than cars that people think are 'better/faster'. The only sub-par facet of this car was the suspension. i paid 300$ or so for braces etc. and installed myself, so now the suspension is great, and for cheap money!!! oh yeah, it carries a lot of stuff and people, and i have only seen 5-6 other viggens and i am on the road a lot. it has been problem -free and i am always excited to driver her.

A wonderful car to drive. The Turbo has been improved and the 205 hp engine has plenty of power. I live in Utah and it takes the mountains with ease. The Saab $269 per month lease is incredible. The rent charge is under $14 for three years. Basically a 0% interest 3 year loan. I will purchase this car at the lease end. It will be worth about $2000 more than I paid for it.

Great styling in the Saab tradition, way better than the Merc / BMW convertibles that are out there. More exclusive with better SNOB appeal. Turbo engine is fast & smooth, the Auto S function is a blast to use. Interior & exterior fit & finish are among the best in the industry. This is the last year for the current body, the new 9-3 doesn't have the traditional SAAB appeal, better get one before it's over.
