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.

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.

When I decided to get an entry level luxury sedan, I looked at several vehicles, including BMW and Volvo. I chose the Saab just because of the test drive. If you are at all waivering on what type of car and the Saab is a little out of your price range, don't test drive it. You'll have to leave with it, whether you can afford it or not! I'm surprised at it's speed with so little horsepower.
