Solid, but Fun Car...

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.

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

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.
