I had this vehicle in the shop 15 times in 3 years. Poor interior choices; the rubber coating peels off all the control panels and door handles, I only get 20 mpg because the turbo kicks in at every stop light etc. Brakes had to be replaced at 21k. Both headlight assemblies had to be replaced at 20K miles because they malfunctioned. The gas gauge is inaccurate. GM used too many inexpensive parts to improve margins on the Saabs and the negative effects of this poor decision making trickled down to the consumer and dealer network - who in turn just services the car and bills the expenses for labor and warranty repair back to GM - does this make any sense? Use quality parts and make a good car.
So Far So Good

So far I have 1300 miles and my Steel Gray Vector has been GREAT!, I love driving this car fast. I get alot of compliments, and questions as to why I purchased a Saab and not a BMW,Lexus or an Audi? So far my only complaint is when you drive on a bad surface you can hear the thud from a pot whole a little too much.

All of my friends have owned Saabs in the past. I've driven the old 9-3, the '02 9-5, the Audi A4 and the 330i. None of these cars can match the excitement of driving the 9-3 Vector. Sexy design, awesome handling, tremendous mileage and incredibly enhanced pickup and speed, this car is nothing but fun to drive. The car will blow anything else in it's class out of the water. Good looks..awesome ride...head turner...its value far exceeds its price...you can't go wrong with the Vector. Truly amazing work by Saab.
FUN TO DRIVE

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.
