Before driving the Saab 9-3, I tested the BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Acura TL, Lexus IS300, and Volvo V50. After driving the 9-3 with the manual transmision, I was sold. Most distinct personality of the group. This car deserves a test drive if you are shopping these cars.
AWESOME CAR

GREAT EUROPEAN RIDE. MORE SPORTY RIDE THAN LUXURY. FUN DUE TO TURBO PICK UP.

I have test driven the acura tl, bmw 3 series, infiniti g35 no room in this car, and I traded my problem riddled mercedes 320 to buy a real car. I feel this is the best looking car on the market for the price and you get the performance to go along with it. The interior of the car is very modern looking and very ergornomically friendly. I freguently go on long road trips and this is by far the most comfortable car I have ever driven. I don't even need to say this but the safety is unmatched by any other car manufacturer including the parent company GM.
Not a sports sedan

Don't get me wrong, I like my Saab. It is safe, reliable, comfy, quick and gets great gas mileage. However, this is not the sports sedan that Saab makes it out to be. I don't understand how all of these consumers give this car a 9 or 10 in performance. I don't know what they drove before their Saab. This car is much too soft, leans much too much in corners and turns. The steering is much too light and there is excessive torque steer. Bumps in the road upset the suspension and the car never really feels under control when driven quickly. All of the professional reviews from car magazines and even Consumer Reports agree with me on the handling. This is NOT a BMW. Born from Jets?..ha ha

Never thought about owning a Saab until I drove one. Fell in love with it the moment I drove it. Was comparing a Saab 9-3 to an Acura TSX and Mazda6. Saab won hands down.
