This is my first Saab. With price of fuel rising if I keep my foot out of the turbo I get 30mpg. Corners better than my 79 Porsche(Audi)924. Turbo lag is almost imperceptible. Huge trunk for a car its size. Very quiet on the highway. I like the info display on dash more than I thought. Radio is way cool some stations it tells you the song that is playing. I am sold on Saabs. Bought my wife 9-5 wagon.
Brakes!!!!!!!!

I definitely enjoy driving this car, until I have to slow down or stop it. The brakes have been horrible from day one. They have "roared" and/or "squeaked" since I purchased the car. It is has been in the shop three times already. Also, the radio sometimes just goes out after starting my car. Only a high pitch sound remains. Overall: If they get the brakes working properly then I will like it. Currently, not so impressed with this car! Thinking I should have went with the BMW or Lexus.

I bought a brand-new 04 Saab 9-3 Arc in May and I was happy with my decision. Sadly, too many problems arose including a bad fuel pump - which had to be replaced. Because of the lemon law, Saab bought it back and I switched to a new S60 2.5T which feels better inside, drives the same, and has slightly more comfortable seats.
FUN FUN FUN!

WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR AND A BUDGET I HAD TO LIVE WITH, THERE WEREN'T ALL THAT MANY CHOICES. THE AUDI A4 I TEST HAD A ROUGH RIDE, THE SEBRING JUST DIDN'T DO IT EITHER AND THE BMW WAS OVERPRICED. I TEST DROVE THE SAAB AND HAVE LOVED IT EVER SINCE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BEAT ALOT OF CARS IN RACES, BUT THAT S NOT WHAT I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR. ITS A FUN TO RIDE CAR. SMOOTH, EASY CONTROLS AND ENOUGH ROOM FOR FOUR. IF YOU CAN'T BUY THE DODGE VIPER CONVERTIBLE (MY DREAM CAR), WELL THEN THIS IS A GREAT FUN CAR.
Unreliable!

Bought the car used towards the end of February, problems started within 3 months of owning. Some of the problems I experienced: fuel pump breaking, the radiator needing to be replaced,the security system failing not once but twice, battery dead, and the transmission failed at 60k AND 66k. Not only that but in the summer I got into my car and notice the floors were soaked. A pipe had backed up into my car, flooding it and ruining the electrical box under the seat. I brought it to Saab and they fixed the problem or so I had thought. The car is still damp and smells like mold. This car has been in the shop more than I have used it in the last 10 months!
