1st Saab, not the last

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.

Love the Car, Hate the Corporation

This is my second Saab and I love the car -- especially the convertible which is sooo much fun to drive with the top down. Only drawback to owning the car: dealing with Saab Corporation! The car may have alot of "soul" but Saab Corporation clearly does NOT given my experience. This is one second time Saab owner who still loves Saab cars but am sorely disappointed by the company who clearly operates on "rules and regulations" (their exact words to me on the phone). Obviously, "profit" and not customer satisfaction reigns surpreme at Saab Corporation!

2nd Saab

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.

Excellent car. Distinguish style and lot of torque with turbo engine. Coll features like ignition key and above all if you want to be different from all the BMW 3 series and still drive something which is even better performance and handling then go for SAAB.
