I LOVE my Saab. Perfect gas mileage, good acceleration (stick shift), great looks. It was everything I wanted in a car.
Pretty good

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.

Love the car. Traded from a 2001 LS430 to this for something smaller, sportier, and more fun and we love it so far. Dealer experience was incredibly good. Great deal on a great fun car. My first SAAB and likely not my last based on my so far limited experience! Classy alternative to a Japanese car.
Fun to drive and inexpensive tag with some issues

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.
