Used 2005 Saab 9-3 Aero 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl Turbo 6M) Consumer Reviews
Just love it!
I've owned my Saab for almost three weeks and man do I love this car. It's gorgeous. I got the steel grey metallic. Love the two tail pipes. It's smooth, very easy to drive, very fast. You will feel the bumps, but it's a sportscar afterall. Love the rear parking assist. I like the dash, but feel like they could have offered the chrome detail on the dash. Love the steering wheel design. Hate the passenger side view mirror. It's hard to see out of it. The front-end is VERY low. I have already knocked the front fender out, but because it's a Saab, it's incredibly durable and the dealer was able to pop it back in like 30 seconds. Overall, it's stylish, fun to drive, and reliable.
Solid car
Excellent car. I don't drive everyday, but when I do drive, I often take trips from 100-200 miles in a day. The car is very comfortable, even after a couple of hours. The mileage is very good on the highway (30+mpg); decent on country roads (22-26mpg); not as good on short trips (20-21mpg). The sound system is good, but not great by any means. The radio reception is very good, especially by SAAB standards.

2006 93 Aero Review
Former BMW and Audi driver. The 93 Aero is powerful; 250bhp/258lb-ft available for real life driving conditions through most of the power band not just near the redline. 90% percent of maximum torque is achieved at 1,500 rpm! Not enough power, buy a simple plugin engine control PPC upgrade ($850) which enables 285bhp/358lb-ft. The rock solid suspension and superb road manners allow you apply that awesome power as if gliding rails in addition to the legendary Saab safety, utility, spaciousness, and functionality. The interior is abundantly quite, however, the car is tuned to provide the enthusiast with an addictive amount of engine and turbo sound.
Better Value
This is my first Saab after owning 2 Audi A4s. I've always loved the exterior styling of Saabs but never thought about owning one until this year when my lease on my last Audi was nearly complete. I looked at both Audis and BMWs but chose the Saab because it provided me the power, performance, styling and comfort for a lot less than the comparable Audi and BMW models. The real factor was the new 2.8 turbo V6 engine which gives this car the performance equal to the much more expensive 330i and the 3.2 A4.
almost perfect
Saab really did a good job with this car. The V6 makes all the difference. Thank god those 4 cylinders are gone. The car has incredible passing power. Acceleration is smooth through the entire power band. I also found it to be a MUCH better value than a comperably equipped Audi or BMW. I feel like I saved thousands. The base Aero has almost everything you'd want on it so you don't get dinged for options that should be standard.
