I love the way this car looks and the way it drives. Handles very well and the convertible top is easy to operate. Has a very solid feel on the road and good pick-up. Tilt wheel lever is hard to reach, as it is underneath the steering wheel.
GM has ruined this car

I have had 2 Saabs in the past and I LOVED the cars. I think my current one is a lemon. It's been at the dealer for repair 4 times already, and I just owned it for 6 months. Very poor build quality.

I have owned this car for one full year and have had an overall enjoyment of my experience with it. It has suited me, as well as my growing family, in many environments and situations. It's handled traffic in Houston, TX, snow/slush in Pittsburgh, PA, and mountainous terrain in Reno, NV. It has performed well in some huge cross country road trips (sometimes getting 33 mpg). I love driving in manual-mode (it not only helps with the gas mileage, but it is a bonus when traveling across the Sierra Mountains on a regular basis. This is a straight-up fun vehicle to drive! I am a mechanical engineer, I did a lot of research, and I picked the Saab over the BMW 3-series and Audi A4 sportwagons.
A Great Driving Experience

I love to drive this car. I look for any excuse to get out of the house and always take the long way home. The car drives like a dream. I gave my 2005 Saab 9-3 Arc with automatic transmission to another family member for this car with 6-speed transmission. What a difference! As good as the Arc was, this car makes me feel like I'm driving again. The subtle differences with engine, suspension and tuning make a huge improvement in the driving experience.

I bought the 2006 9-3 Aero in 2009. It had 22,000 miles. The car looks very nice, it's lots of fun to drive. It is faster than most of the similar priced European makes (which are usually more expensive). The 2-tone leather interior with silver trims look sporty and modern. The 2.8 V6T does consumes significant amount of fuel, which can add up, specially if you follow the owner's manual requirement of premium fuel only. Overall, I love it!
