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.

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.

I bought a gray 2004 Saab 9 3 that had 63K miles. I never had an European car but when I test drove it is immediately bought. For a little turbo engine, it had lots of power and great acceleration. Drove it for a year without problems. At 84k it started to rattle near the undercarriage on uneven roads. I replaced the lower control arms and bushings but to no avail it still made noise. Fixed the noise temporarily with wd40 and spraying the bushings. The next issue I ran into was the keyless entry would work 1 out 30 times. The worst part of this was the reconnection I had to do everytime I got into the car. And the loud alarm noise when opening it with the cut key. The only fix was to buy a newer serial fob. $80 plus $50 electronic installment fee. next problem was the coolant reservoir tank. It was an easy DIY. The last issue that caused me to sell the car was the small leak in the AC. It wasn't too bad but every spring I had to refill the AC. A bit annoying but it's cheaper than replacing the whole unit. Also there was a clicking noise when I turn on the coldest setting. Overall, fun car to drive with multiple small problems. P.S. Cup holders are neat but terrible. And MPG is terrible unless you're on the highway always.

2004 Saab 9-3 Arc 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful
I have many cars within the 11 years of driving. I had heard for a long time that Saab's were fairly good cars. I waited on my Saab to be shipped from Sweden for 60 days, it was a special order. I have had that car in the shop 32 times in less than a year. The brakes were horrible from the day I picked it up! I've had consistant problems with the door lock system. Different random doors will just unlock at different occasions. I will lock it in the huge parking garage at night and come down some mornings and all 4 will be unlocked. It will die going down the hwy., the horn will go off while driving, the O2 sensor hesitates and hangs which has caused the car to not accelerate.
So far, so good.

Picked up a 9-3 from the factory in Sweden. Highly recommended for the experience and the savings. I compared the 9-3 to the Audi A4 and BMW 3 series. Ultimately chose the Saab because I knew friends who loved their Saabs and my previous car was an entry level model that got me in to a nicer car, but lacked most of the features which makes driving nice cars worthwhile. With all the options I wanted the other cars were close to 40K, e.g. real leather is an pricey extra on 3 series. The 9-3 Arc with nearly all the options came in just above 30K. So far I love it, the only thing that worries me is finding a good mechanic in a couple of years when things inevitably break.

bough the saab from a kid for $700 a year ago and with 174k miles (yeah too many miles but i needed a car asap) i test drove it and was impressed looks like last owners took good care of the car, at first i didnt research it much but went with the reviews here within the whole year i had to replace the headlights got them cheap at amazon...left control arm, resonator,radio with speakers,front brakes and rotors,spark plug coils,wheel balance,battery,disable the alarm as it was going off random times at night,sway bar links. from all the work it had i wanted to get rid of the vibration at speeds over 70 my local mechanic said problem is the tires ok changed the tires , but nothing did a balance, nothing, alignment! nothing and was told to just get new rims...im like naaaaah i leaving it like that for the fact that now 194k its getting ready to die the engine vibrates most of the the time and sometimes i dont feel the engine at all sometimes it wanna go fast sometimes not. shocks and struts are stiff and a little soft sometimes but no really i hate the banging sound door locks dont work only with key fob passenger door locks has to be fixed so it will open from the inside tried fixing it twice but it keeps braking a couple a month ago got an air bag malfunction warning its a recall dealer said will replace at no cost once the part become available well i dont wanna drive it if i get in accident and the air bag wont go off then its gonna be on saab? heck cant cause they not in market brakes pad and rotos are not too worn but a few times i pressed the brakes hard on high speed to come into full stop and the car keeps going a few more feet no i didnt hear the tiers sky my guess its the calipers cruise control doesnt work wipers dont go all the way down anyways for all these stuff to get fixed i quoted about $5000 i should just get another car and a brand thats still in the market chevrolet,honda,mazda,acura,lexus,nissan,audi

I recently went out on a limb by buying the new Saab 9-3 Linear without having ever owned a Saab before. All I can say is that I feel there is no better choice that I could have made! The interior is original and the "Nightpanel" feature is awesome for touring in the Smoky Mtn. National Park at night... Through my job, I drive over 50 different makes and models of 03,04, and now 05 model cars and I have found none that match the quality and performance of my new Saab. Buy one, you'll be glad you did.
not the same Saab story!

I've had my 9-3 Arc for about 8 months. It's been the best car I've ever had! A couple minor glitches with the power window, but who's perfect? It's fast, it's reliable, and it rocks for road trips!

I love the body restyling. I actually have the Vector model. It's really fun to drive. I wish that Saab had taken a few more steps in redesigning the interior. I would like more brushed aluminum trim on the dash and the pedals to make the car even sportier.

This has the driving dynamics of a hotrod, yet the sophistication of a premium sedan. The engine is a monster torque mill that moves the car along much faster than its 210 hp/torque rating would suggest. Best part is - there is no torque steer, yet the steering is responsive and sharp. The ride is a little knobbly on harsh surfaces, but never uncomfortable. The car is poised and secure even in extreme turns with bumps. It holds a line like a limpet. Brakes are fabulous - they are "right now" when you need them to be, but progressive and easy to modulate otherwise.
Exceeds my expectations!

Never considered a SAAB before I saw the special offer they had on my car ('04 linear) in the dealership. Traded in my 02 TDI Golf (worst car ever owned). So far the SAAB has been flawless on the first 1000 miles! Strog engine, high milage and so much fun to drive!!! Equal or better than my 99 A4 quattro with sport package. Still need to get used to the ignition switch location.

A very quick and responsive car - great fun to drive. Drives more like an Audi or BMW than a Saab - it's completely lost that old "rubbery, tippy" sensation. Feels a bit "tinny" compared to the Germans, though. Perhaps this is a result of being built on GM's new "world car" platform. The engine is pure Saab Turbo - a great motor! Saab are closing the performance sedan gap with the Germans - they are closing in on best-in-class with this model and with the current price differential against the the Audi A4 3.0 and BMW 330 its a good value.

This car is just like they say in the commercial. If you drive it, you'll want to buy it. I wasn't even looking at cars, let alone Saabs! I wanted to get another truck. But I saw the price that they start at and their look is impeccable and nobody has them. So I test drove it, and I was sold. It drives like a dream, handling every nook of the road with ease. The turbo gives it the performance anyone needs. And since not that many people have them, I'm looked at like I'm driving a ferrari.

The Saab 9-3 is a fun car. It handles well and is really quick. The car is well designed and there are few on the road. You see so many BMWs that it gets old after a while. Very comfortable car too.

To date the problems have been 1/2 dealership and 1/2 car. It took 9 days to install OnStar, 4 trips to finally fix the cold weather starting problem (software issue), and then the recall of the front axles. I am more concerned about the creaks that are beginning to develop, headboard, seat, and intermittent out of the blue stereo electical miscues. Hopefully the GM portion is rearing it's ugly head. I still love the car but it's tough driving with your fingers crossed. If you have multiple dealerships in your area then I'd support the purchase.

Just picked this up a month ago. Got a great deal and a lot of options (because of a great cash rebate). Normally would buy a stick but my wife will also drive it occasionally and I got the automatic. The engine purs and the turbo adds lots of push at low end. Who needs the stick? Braking is great. Stereo is fine. Auto driver seat is very responsive and comfortable. Interior is quiet. Dealership is very helpful. Just got a 30 day check- up, they put on my plates, checked the systems, washed the car, vacuumed the interior. It's new all over again. Oooh Baby!

Car delivered in flawless condition. No problems at 2K miles. Performance with 210 hp engine is fantastic; torque peaks at 2500 rpm and you feel it. Awesome brakes like BMW, but better and vented all around. Ride and handling with the 16" wheels is just right, not too soft (15") or hard (17" on highway). Interior is like Swedish furniture; Arc is much nicer than the Linear. The Arc is a bargain compared to competitors; looks great in black/parchment. It has more equipment and space than others, and costs much less given the equipment we got. Dealer gave us a great price, treated us very well. Economy is better than the others at 20/30.

I got the Vector model (but that's basically the Aero...right?) last March and have loved every minute of it. It's my first car and I love it so much that once my lease is up on this one, I know that I'll be getting another Saab. It's so much fun to drive and it's such a pretty car. I had a little fender bender with another car and came away with not a scratch on it! I feel sorry for the people in those boring cars that it seems like EVERYONE owns. The Saab is definitely one of the best cars on the road! Plus, just being in it makes you feel great!

This is a fine car, exceeding expectations in all areas. One small issue is the 'turbo lag' in lower gears only accentuated by the dramatic 'pickup' found as you proceed into 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th gears. That's right, 6th gear. The 6th gear is a very nice addition for highway driving. Unfortunately 80-90 mph feels like 60mph!! Handling is outstanding and, for my purposes (some moderate distance highways driving, country roads in rural NE and pleasure trips) better than G35 and similar cars. A+ vehicle.

I was looking for a basic car with no real extras (sun roof, pwr seat, etc.) that would be fun to drive, with good performance to take the place of the 2000 Volvo S40. The only problem was with a broken door latch which set off the alarm and info panel. Once replaced, everything has worked fine.

Bought a 9-3 two months ago on a semi- whim (I was originally going for an SUV) and am so glad I did. Went to the dealer for fun and was blown away by the looks (both interior and exterior) of the Saab - was so much more attracted to it than the A4, 3-series, TSX, etc. Test drove both linear and arc, the latter had noticably better power. Pretty much just feel in love with it.
Too Much Fun !!

This car is the most fun I have had driving - for the past 50 years! And, I have had a lot of different cars, from Porsche, BMW to VW. Performance on the highway is exceptional. Braking is reassuring. I found it necessary to buy a radar detector!! Great value! Even came with free OnStar.

Our Saab 9-3t has far exceeded our expectations. We were looking upscale and wanted some practical returns for an impractical investment. The vehicle safety rating was an attraction and the styling has no apologies to make against the more widely purchased European sedans. The standard-output turbo is plenty,delivering impressive power at the merest 'punch' of the accelerator. The car's handling systems are equal to the control task presented by the surge in power yet not so tight that you feel like you bought a go-kart with leather seats. If you want to say you've 'arrived' but still have a few destinations in mind, you just might be ready for a Saab.

Definately a "state of independence"! I test drove a lot of cars (BMW, MB, VOLVO, etc...) and was not impressed with any, until I drove the SAAB. The mixture of Swedish (scania) and american (GM) input refine this to be a joy to drive. Being a mid-30's anti- conformity punk, I was even considering the Mitsubishi Evo-8. I would have bought the EVO-8 if I was 25. I probably would have purchased the Benz if I was 50. The SAAB is the happy-medium between the Evo-8 and the C-230. I have a luxury car that will still hit the off-ramps at 70mph

The manual transmission with the high boost turbo gives you plenty of power at usuable rpm ranges with very little turbo lag. I've driven several of the Japanese and German competitors (A4, BMW, TSX, etc.). While the handling characteristics don't quite match the german sports sedans, they are still very good and result in a fun car to drive. This car will never be as common as those vehicles either. The interior is quite plush, with all of the expected amenities in this price range. Overall, I love the car.

The car is still relatively new so I'm still getting to know it. I like the drive & most of the features. Dissapointed with the cupholders provided - one in center console is large and I have spilled, one in dash is flimsy. Lots of trunk room I have no problem folding down the seats and tossing my bike in the back.

I love my Saab! This is my first new car, even though my family and I have been driving Saabs since the 80's. My Aunt still has her 1988 Saab. I had previously had a 1999 SE Convertible, which I bought used. Living in Chicago I was concerned about the snow. It went right through my unplowed parking lot all through winter! My new Saab is amazing. The updated styling and the new computer display on the dash. I believe I am racing around with 210 hp. The car feels and looks high end. With the 4 cyl engine, I save on gas. The dealership had a neighborhood feel to it. I worked with a female saleperson, and she made me feel very comfortable about the whole process.

Who knew a Saab could be so fun to drive? Although we have had our Saab only a month, I can attest that we are extremely pleased with our purchase. I love the design of the car (I really did not before this body style). Gas mileage has been great, and the trunk is gigantic. I am sold on Saab.

The 2004 Saab 9-3 Linear is a powerful, fun to drive, practical sports car. It's also a pretty good deal when you factor in the rebates available. This car handles great and has every safety device standard (ABS, front/side/head airbags, traction control, electronic stability program, electronic brake assist, and active head restraints).

I traded a 2000 Volvo S40 for this Saab. My first choice was the all new S40, but noticed a little more turbo lag than I'd have liked, and they are not yet available with manual shift. For the price difference with options the 9-3 is a no brainer coupled with the deals and incentives offered. It's got to be one of the best values out there for this price segment. Nice looking, fun to drive car with lots of safety features.

You don't see them all over the road, They have sleek lines, a very european interior, and overall I am very impressed with the way it drives, handles, rides, etc. This is a great car!

I NEVER even considered buying a SAAB!! I went to the dealership looking to buy a BMW. One test drive later and I was was signing papers. Was impressed with the new design. When I drive the family around, I feel safe knowing all the safety features that SAAB puts together. The car just begs to be driven. Step on the pedal and go! A real head turner both on the road or parked next to curb. The only time the car has seen a mechanic was for the 30 day service. I can't say enough about it, THANK YOU BMW!!!!!

This is my first Saab. Have Volvos and love them. Saab 9-3 is so far a really good car. I considered the Volvo S-40 2004 but went for the Saab 9-3 Linear with extras. It's more care physically and with more goodies. The car is fast and quiet (under 3000rpm at 90mph) with stable ride and good road holding. Turbo reacts quicky and smoothly. Great interior with good build.
Best Car Ever Driven!

This will be my second car I have had. It is a blast to drive and has every luxury aspect that a BMW or Jaguar would without the ridiculous price tag. Sometimes! The turbo blows you away when you take off. I used to drive a Toyota Solara and it doesn't even compare at all to this Swedish luxury car! It has every bell and whistle a person needs in a car. Gas mileage is awesome but could sometimes need a little more leg room for the back seaters and would like a bigger trunk. It is hard to fit my golf clubs in the trunk and when you drive a luxury car you expect it to fit golf clubs with ease

This car has lived up to everything I wanted it to. The car is great and the dealership is great. You won't go wrong with this car.
Happy Again

Previously owned 99 9-3. The 04 is a completely different car. Higher levels of refinement from the exterior look to the interior materials and design. This 9-3 has grown up.
