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.

Exterior styling looks extremely sleek from previous year. The interior is extremely comfortable and attractive. Controls are layed out nicely. The mounted steering stero controls are an added bonus. Rear cargo space is ample. Steering and handling is extremely agile and fun to drive. Smooth and quiet at freeway speeds.

My second Saab. First was 1986 900S. I was afraid the GM take-over would downgrade. But to my surprise, the more I drive it, the more I enjoy the ride. The dealer gave me $5K off the price after a bit of dickering. My Accord friends love the ride, design and performance(I own two hondas too). Impressed with Synthetic Oil only design--let's me know the auto manufacturers are finally acknowledging it's superiority.

Just recently I was involved in a 3 car pile up. A teenager driving about 45 slammed into the car behind me and then that car slammed into me. I got out of my car a little shook up and expected my 3 month old saab to be totaled, and to my astonishment there wasnt a scratch or dent on it!! Now the car that hit me and the other car were totally totaled and could not be driven away from the accident! This is the safest car out there. What other car do you know of that can withstand and 45 mph collision without a scratch? I would recommend this car to anyone! It has a beautiful design and flawless inteior. Very quit and great power. and every safety feature is o
