For anyone considering a Nissan V6 Altima/Maxima, even a V6 Accord or Camry; this car is definately worth a test drive. Saab always offers factory incentives that effectively reduce the MSRP LOWER than these LESSER cars. The 9-3 with 5-speed is selling around $24- 25K USD. The price of a fairly loaded V6 Altima is $28K and your stuck with an Altima. The Saab 9-5, contrary to what most believe, start around $28-29K with the incentives. Both are worth the time of a quick test drive.

I am very satisfied with my '02 9-3 SE. This is my first automatic Saab and it's just as peppy as my 99 9-3 was in a 5-speed. I enjoy the benefits of traction control and On-Star in this new model. Can't say enuf to praise the car or the dealership, Just Saab. They go out of their way to please the customer. The old saying that the customer is always right applies here.

We looked at Nissans (Altima and Maxima), Toyotas (Camry and Corolla SE), Fords, Mini, and Volvos. We liked the Saab the best because they gave us a great lease deal and we did not have to mess around with all of those Option packages. The 9-3 Turbo has everything you will need right out of the gate. It's fast, nice-looking (midnight blue), functional (OnStar), luxurious (Leather, Power Everything, Sunroof), and reliable. I drive on the highway all day and this car is a joy at high speeds. At night, the dashboard lights are easy on the eyes.
Pasion, Fun and Delivery

THIS CAR IS JUST PLAIN FUN TO DRIVE. LOTS OF POWER FROM THE 230 HP TURBO. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, THEN YOU LOOK FOR UNUSUAL STYLING IN AN AUTO. NOT TOO MANY ON THESE ARE AROUND. I JUST LIKE TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER GUY ON THE ROAD. TOP NOTCH SPORT LEATHER SEATS AND INTERIOR. TORQUE STEER TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO. THIS CAR CAN GET OUT FROM UNDER YOU, ESPECIALLY IN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR
Drive one & you just might buy one!

I was searching for a used convert. for a couple of months. At first I liked the Boxter, then the BMW, the the Mercedes SL. At no time did I even think of the Saab. I went to the dealer after my sister told me about a sale going on, I said, why not, they are cool looking cars and they fit with my snobby job in banking. Let me tell you, I had a ball testing this thing. From the ease of the convert. top to the turbo boost and the little S button for extra speed. I bought a 2002 model that same day and I wound up getting a bumper to bumper warrenty until 2009 or 100,000 miles. Final cost before tax, $27,000. Simply Amazing car.

She's so sweet ... she's so fine ... and I'm glad that she is mine! I had a 1995 Saab SE Turbo convertible that I loved so much that when she started to get "long in the tooth" I traded her in on this newer version. Fast! Fun! Luxurious yet has a true sports car feel! Unbelievable gas mileage (30's on the highway) and I constantly get comments from old and young alike, "Nice car"! She is everything a summer car should be.

Very comfortable. I traded in a '99 Mustang GT convert. The Saab feels more responsive and is way more comfortable and refined. Torque steer is my only complaint.
Fun - shoddy build for the price

I love the engine - that's about it. Bad tires, soft suspension. Horrible fit and finish. I have had to go to the dealership 20+ in the first 2 years - all covered but who needs the hassle in a 30-40K car. If you are buying you must get extended warranty or get rid of it before the warranty expires.

i was sorely surprised at the poor quality of my '02 Saab 93, which i leased new. i expected much more of a $30,000 "luxury car". I've had this car back to the dealer an average of once every couple months for constant nagging quality problems. Door handle snapped off, sunroof frame cracked when opening, spoiler popped off, etc. etc, etc. Not to mention the annoying rattles, creaks, & vibrations. My daughters '99 Cavalier rides more quietly. Really disappointed... I'll never own another one.

This vehicle has been a nightmare! I have been the only owner, never in an accident and there have been issues from the time it was under warranty. 2 auto windows that broke, 2 ball joints (the same one each at 50K miles), 3 electrical relay switches, head gasket that leaks, radio control display that is not readable and many other problems, on top of routine maintenance! Lemon is what I got, and Saab has lost a customer of 25 years!

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.
poor build quality

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.
all around awesome

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 good, reliable car all around. However, a very creaky, noisy car. It sounds like I'm driving a taxi cab. Lots of rattles. Had to take the car in to the dealership several times to fix a rattle in the back seat. Finally they were able to fix it after the third try. Turned out it was a bolt that the factory hadn't tightened. Performance wise it's been great. However, already had to replace my breaks two years into my lease. Love the Turbo button. I had a Cadillac before and the Saab, though premium, definitely doesn't have the bells and whistles the Cadillac had.
Got lucky and didn't get a lemon

Thought I'd add my two cents. Had an issue with the loose screw in the trunk which made rattling noise. Plastics inside vehicles also make rattling noise at high speed but manageable. Mine's manual, and so far at 68K over 2.5 years, I haven't had any problems with it. I drive mostly on the highways and drive fast. Starts slow but once it gets moving, hitting 100 is easy. I knew going in that reliability is an issue but I'm crossing my fingers that mine will last a while longer...

The Viggen has been a great car. Great performance all while obtaining great gas mileage. Front seats are a dream to sit in. In all climate areas, make sure to put the Continental Extremes on this car. This tire is great in snow, water and still is 'Z' rated for performance. This car is highly recommended. This car was built in the same plant as the Porsche Boxter.

Buying a used Saab is great for a couple reasons: 1 - The price was great. 2 - The car is amazing. This Saab 9-3 SE is an absolutely fantastic car. It has a premium package (sport susp, better audio, full leather, ACC) and heated seats. The 5-speed shifts smoothly and accleration is excellent. Suspension is quirky, yet entertaining. It handles corners very well. It's absolutely beautiful in black. The hatch has a plethora of room for anything. Rides quietly. Engine noise is really insignificant. Fuel economy is great for a car with its power. No torque steer.

This is my second Saab. Wanted a convertible. Test drove and purchased in 20 minutes. Fun to drive, especially S mode. Classy lines and would be difficult to match snobby look when behind the wheel.

This car is one of the most reliable cars I have owned. In over 3 years of owning this car, outside of normal maintenance, which by the way was included in the lease, I have had no problems. Tires and brakes need replacement at 27K to 30K miles. Interior had minor integrity issues, but again, all covered when brought in for service. The interior and top squeak in the winter months; I guess to be expected in a convertible. The back seat is spacious for a convertible and one of the main reasons I bought this car. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a nice, reliable 4 passenger convertible. If looking for a more sport riding convertible, go with the Viggen or Bimmer convertible

This car is fun to drive and has reasonable fuel economy when it is not in being repaired. I am on my 3rd water pump, have replaced several computer modules, gaskets failing in very expensive areas, have electrical problems, etc. etc. I have been told by the Saab dealer that these things happen even if you keep up with the Saab maintenance schedule. I am not sure if my problems are the result of poor build quality, poor Saab mechanics at the dealership, or both. Beware of the reliablity of 2002 Saabs 9-3.

Saab Viggen rquires a lot more agressive driving than BMS 3 series (use to own a couple). The car performance and handling substantially inproves at higher speeds and RPM. The ride feels not as comfortable at "Lexus" type driving. Don't waste your money on this car if you are a timid driver. Otherwise welcome aboard the SAAB VIGGEN.

If you want a car that's fun to drive, nimble and responsive this is a great car. If you need to have a large interior with room to move around, it isn't for you. I guess you have to sacrifice something for the fun. Once you get used to it, you may never want to drive anything else.

This is my first Saab ever. Enjoyed every minute of it. Does everything you want it to do but with 30-35 mpg. I am sad to have sold it. It sold the next day after putting it in the paper. I will definitely be looking to buy another one

I always admired Saab's for their unique appearance. You don't see too many of them on the road so they always stood out and caught my eye. After several test drives and reading lots of reviews, I finally bit the bullet and drove out of the dealer with a 2002 9-3 SE last January. I've had the car just over a year now and have never regretted my decision, I love this car.

The sport tires do transmit the feel of the road more than some other near luxury cars, but it's nothing I could complain about. The seats are extremely comfortable. The interior and exterior are very well assembled. Huge trunk can hold just about anything. Great stereo! Press the "S" button on the gear selector and watch this car fly!

After looking at an Acura 3.2 tl type s and a Passat 1.8T, I purchased a 9-3 SE with premium package, heated seats, metalic midnight blue paint, auto. Great seats, very fast, huge cargo space, quiet at speed on the highway, beautiful and simple interior, kickin' stereo. This car grows on me every day! The dealer experience was great.

I had to decide between the SAAB and a Mustang V6. I'll never look back. As rare as it is in advertising these days, SAAB has stumble onto a truth. I think it's something like "Most people who drive one, buy one." I agree. After driving the SAAB I didn't even go back to the Ford dealer.

What a super vehicle! Saab somehow manages to smoothly combine practicality with performance. I challenge anyone to find another vehicle in the 9-3's price range with comparable performance and design features. Reb Brown at Saab of Thousand Oaks (California) provided us with superior service, as well as a straight-forward deal.
Love this car.

I purchased my new 93 last week. I was deciding between a loaded Honda Accord and the 93. I am very happy with my decision. The Saab offers great syling and performance for about $30.00 more per month in comparible lease terms to the Accord. After owning a number of "utilitarian" type cars, the Saab 93 has made it is fun to drive again.
The most fun you will have driving.

Having to give up my 2-door sport vehicle and buy a 4-door family sedan for the first time, we looked at upscale sedans. I drove the Saab last & loved it. The seats are comfortable & the trunk space roomy. The car has nimble handling & a pleasure to drive. I opted for the manual tranmission & premium package. The turbo engine makes up for the VTEC engine that I had. The visability is great, as there are limited blind spots. Having the ignition in the floor is odd, but it is a neat feature. Other then that, the car is truly a dream to drive and own! Guilford Saab is a great dealer, highly recommend both them and the car.

The 9-3 Convertible is a complete gas to drive. Peppy, with excellent seats and a ragtop. Won't write any records off the line, but goes from 20-70 in a snap. Very smooth highway ride.

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.

I purchased this Saab 4 days ago and already I am overflowing with praises. You will not find a better car at a better price. Believe me I looked! I bought this car at VOB Saab in Rockville, MD and they provided me with the poorest car buying experience I've ever encountered. I do not have one good thing to say about this dealership and I suggest others to steer clear.

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.

Picked up my 2002 9-3 SE two weeks ago, and have been having a blast! Opted for the 5-speed with premioum pkg and heated seats. The 3-year lease cannot be touched by Audi, BMW, or VW. This baby is deceptive--mild-mannered on the outside, but it can scoot!!

Once you get used to it you realize it is not pleasant driving as there is no ergonomic considerations for the driver. The seat is hard and one must contort to press the gas pedal, with the drivers seat aimed at the left fron wheel and the gas pedal crammed against the transmission tunnel. oh yes, the seat is hard and doesn't soften any with use. In acceleration the tires break loose from the pavement due to undersized rims. In cornering... you think of a ride at Six Flags. The stock sound system is just adequate. First gear is too short and over rev's, once the turbo lag kicks in.

I always like the Saabs unique look and when I saw what they were leasing for I had to check one out. I am glad I did because they had $3500 in rebates until the end of July. Had trouble getting a 5 speed because no other dealer wanted to make a trade. The car fits me like a glove. It is quicker than everything else I have ever driven. The suspension is stiff but still compliant. Very little torque steer unless you get on it when pulling away from a stop when making a left or right turn. I bought a midnight blue 5 speed Saab 9-3 SE 4 door hatch with the premium package and heated seats. Tons of room in the hatch area for storage. Excellent fit and finish.

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.

Top quite working right off the bat. A.c. control always locking up, so you end up twisting off the cheap knob. And the reason I ended up selling it for 500 dollars after having this heartache of a car with 80 K miles was the oil sludge issue. When I was in high school I had a five hundred dollar Pinto that had this bucket beat.
