Used 2005 Saab 9-3 Aero 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl Turbo 6M) Consumer Reviews
Great choice
Was looking at BMW 3-series when I came across the new 9-3 aero...so glad I did! Amazing car to drive...so smooth and quiet on the road, with plenty of space inside for hauling people and things. I've always had a liking of "unique" cars, and the Saab 9-3 is definitely a unique car. It's all the luxury and performance of a BMW or Audi, at a slightly lower price, and you can bet you won't see another one at every stop light!
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.

The best car!
I was looking at another cadillac when I saw the Saab. I was attracted to the looks and when I drove it, it was so smooth that I changed my mind in the middle of the deal to the Saab. I absolutely love everything about this car and will buy another one in the future!
More Bang for Your Buck
My wife and I drive a BMW 325Ci an Audi A4 Quattro and recently leased a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero (manual). This car is awesome, easily the best of the bunch and the others are pretty good. The Saab offers better performance, more interior comfort and space and respectable gas mileage (28.5 mpg on a recent highway trip). The best features of the car are the V-6 engine and the upgraded seats that the Aero model offers. The engineers who put the engine together have created one of the most useable and powerful engines I have ever driven. In particular on two lane highways you can pass quickly and in confidence.
Great Value @ 60K Miles 9-3 Aero
Just hit 60,000 miles on the 9-3 Aero after 2.5 years - bought new. Mostly highway miles in the desert heat. Just replaced brake pads at 57,000 miles - first time the brakes required any maintenance - be careful - no squealers to alert that your brakes need replacement. Coolant tank replaced twice. Only other problem - unable to start - dealer fixed a switch that had "popped open." Car is worth the money and is fun to drive - quick, comfortable and reliable. Getting 25 mpg on highway and about 22 mpg combined city and highway.
