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).

One of the better cars for the money

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.

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.

This is my third week owning a Saab Linear. It has been wonderful. Handles great, nice power especially at the 2nd and 3rd gear. I like it as much as my old Beamer. Nice car overall.

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.
