I bought this car in late 2005 with 13,000 miles from the dealership. Everybody gives the 2003 a bad wrap because it was new, but the thing is that all the software fixes are in place and it drives great! I like this style compared to the 2008 and newer and will probably search for a low mile 2005 when I sell this. For the meantime I expect to get 250,000 - 300,000 miles out of this car. It does not vibrate and drives new even at 150,000 miles. This car features the pre-GM stereo which gets a bad wrap because of no BASS, however I added an Infiniti Basslink to the system in the trunk (wired to my front door speaker for BASS) and now people who ride in my car says it sounds like a club)

The engine has performed very well. All electronics and interior design has failed often. Engine Check light due to Gas Cap design triggers often. Traction control fails on and off again. Drivers window came off track. Side mirror adjustments needed replacement. Water Leak issues from Pollen filter design, door leaks due to poor rubber seal and interior door seal. It goes on but this should be enough. Car noise is non stop. Something always rattling.

I've had it for a week. Did my homework, and so far am happy w/ my choice. The car's got great styling, power and features. JD's latest survey seemed to call out the quality of the electronics. Admittedly and as expected, the car was delivered w/ a few bugs that I need to take in to have fixed. The radio on/off sticks and the "nxt" button on the steering wheel doesn't work well. Overall, I feel the new design is strong and is positioned to be a legitimate player in the sport/premium mid-size segment.
Outstanding car for a great price!

The Saab 9-3 Sports Sedan is a great car. It is incredibly fun to drive and it gets excellent fuel economy. The interior design is very good. Leather appointed seats are standard and the seats are surprisingly comfortable. The audio system takes some time to get the hang of. The Saab has a sporty, stiff drive which makes driving an enjoyable experience. I will not buy a different type of car, my Saab is the greatest car I have ever owned.
FUN TO DRIVE
