Had for 3 months,no problems..now its one after the other. Have a noise coming from the front axle that the dealer still cant diagnose have been in 7 times still with no success. I have had the parking brake lock on me 4 times, twice i had to get it towed from roadside assitance because of this. I know roadside assistance phone number by memory(not a good thing) There also is a door rattle that the dealer has "fixed" twice with no success. Not what you would expect in a $30k auto. Buy the TSX unless you want to be disappointed.

New to Saab family and so far loving it. Former Volvo S70 owner and glad that got rid of it. We looked at BMW, VW and Volvo, but nothing came close to the performance and look of the car. I love the fact that there are not many out there. Unlike BMW's. This Saab is great to drive especially when cornering. Exterior is beautiful and smooth. The door handles can be painted or made of non-fading plastic. My 9-3 has the Touring Package upgrade with the 17" wheels which should be a must! I do have the clunking noise when backing of the driveway or just starting to roll when starting the car, according to Saab technician, the noise is due to the self adjusting brake and anti-lock brake system.

This is actually my first car purchased on my own since entering college and I think it was one I will not regret. I test drove other vehicles in this price range and Saab had to be the best in my opinion. Even performed better than those with 6 cylinders. This automobile is definitely worth the time to be considered. The dealership I bought the car (Ken Batchelor)from in San Antonio made the car buying experience even better. I hope all Saab dalerships caer to the customer the way these guys do.
First new Saab

Leased this car for my wife in Feb. 2003. She is in love with this car. It has every bell and whistle for her and looks awesome. We had room to negotiate with our dealer and came away very satisfied. The car handles as well as any car I've ever been in. This is a keeper when the lease is up.

If you get a Linear trim line, I highly recommend the stick, as the automatic simply lags. I like the styling and there are a few neat features BUT, the build qulity is suspect at best. Lots of plastic on the inside translates into a cheap feel and rattles everywhre. Limited space around the pedals and the placing of the trunk release are serious design flaws. Overall, if I had the chance to buy this car again, I wouldn't. It's easy to see why GM is discounting these cars so much;it is the only way they can unload them. Even with the deep discount I got, I still don't feel that it was a goo deal. Dealer support has been poor.
