This car is spunky and fun to drive. The gas mileage is exceptional on the highway...I get about 32 regularly. I test drove the BMW 325i, and I liked this car much better...hands down.
Best Car I Ever Owned

This vehicle is by far the best I've ever owned. The only things that could top it would be if it had the V6 turbo engine. It is not as common as the BMW which every other person seems to drive here, so you are more unique when on the road. Unfortunately for me, I have to sell it as I am moving overseas and left hand drive cars are not allowed there. When I return, I will pick up the latest model via the European Delivery Program so I can once again enjoy the thrill of the Saab Aero convertible. It is great to drive.

Lots of Bang for the Buck

Had my '05 9-3 for a year, and no problems other than a faulty radio which was warrantied without hassle. It's FWD, so it's just not quite a Bimmer 330 or a A4 Quattro, but then again your not going to get a deal on either of those vehicles like you will on the 9-3 if you look hard enough. Indeed, with that factor considered, I think the Saab is probably the best overall value in the entry-level lux- sport sedan class. Manual version is a blast to drive and the turbo makes it peppy enough to be fun. Handling is tight and braking is exceptional. Build quality is OK, there's a few cheesy design features that will bum you out a bit. Oh and the stereo is horrific. Other than that, great car!
Reason to smile!

This is the fifth Saab I've either owned or leased, and it's without a doubt the most enjoyable. My only complaint is its relatively pokey acceleration. Otherwise, it's great fun, with a nice, controlled ride, strong brakes and all the creature comforts one would expect from a $43000 car. I considered a BMW 330iC as well, but found the local Saab dealership much more agreeable to work with.

Finally there's a car that reflects how I feel, free, in for a challenge, OUT THERE and totally comfortable when I just feel like taking a ride home in the sunset. With a cup of coffee in the cup holder, and some jazz on the high powered stereo, I call it a mix between a vehicle and a Peet's Coffee coffee shop. Brilliant - again!
