Used 2005 Saab 9-3 Aero 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl Turbo 6M) Consumer Reviews
Great GM Car So Far
I'm just about to turn 3,000 miles in my 06 Aero and so far, so good. I come from a GM family and have previously owned two Chevy S-10 Blazers. So, the switch to a Saab has been pretty radical. I first noticed the car on the road and thought it was beautiful before finding out it was a GM product. The 06 model is still very Saab oriented whereas the 07 model is adopting more of the GM DNA on the interior. Overall I have been very happy with the looks, performance and value of this vehicle. I very rarely see any other Aero models on the road... mostly 2.0s. If you are lookng for an affordable entry-level luxury sports sedan, the 9-3 is tough to beat.
Aero Pleasure
I compared many cars before ultimately deciding on the 9-3 Aero V6. It would have cost me $5,000 more to buy a comparable car from another manufacturer. I was extremely pleased with the overall value I achieved, having purchased every available option and not breaking the $40K barrier. I have to say, the audio quality of the 300 watt stereo is disappointing & the navigation system is extremely poor! The navigation unit in a Honda Civic is far better! I understand that both the stereo and the navigation have been improved and this makes me wish I had waited to buy the 2007 model. I had a problem with the coolant system and after 6 service trips, I think it has finally been fixed!
