I hate to have to write a negative review. I have 4200 miles on my '06 SAAB 9-3 Aero and had to have the engine replaced in the car. Engine coolant light to leaky head gasket to engine replacement. Unbelievable!! I love the car other than that. The V-6 has a problem that they wanted the engine back to the factory to investigate. Beware folks!!

This is my first Saab since my I owned a 1984 900 Turbo and I can only say they've gotten better. I traded-in a Mini Cooper S for my 9-3 SportCombi Aero and my new Saab is more fun to drive. The performance of the new 2.8L V-6 is all I could ever want. This car measures and stacks up favorably with the competition at much less cost

When I selected the Saab, I drove a lot of different cars in the 25K-35K price range (Infiniti G35, Volvo S40 & S60, BMW 325, Accord & Solara). My Saab is great for driving country roads & highways. I get an average of 26mpg and on the highway I get up to 32mgp. Great acceleration when passing other cars. You feel like your only doing 70, but when you look at to speedometer you realize that your cruising at 110, oops! I find the 9-3 to be very comfortable. But my boyfriend, who is 6'2 finds that there is not enough legroom widthwise across the car. When driving his right leg rests against the console. The only problem I have had is that you really need to slam the doors to shut them.
Details, details, details!!!

Bought used in '08 w/20k miles. Has everything but nav. After 16k miles/12 months, car feels like development stopped at 85%. All the pieces are there, just not fine-tuned the last 15%. Strong drivetrain performance (2.0t w/5-speed auto), but average gas mileage (mid-20s on highway). Steering is light/fast, but ominous popping/clicking noises from front end when turning at low speed. Smooth road ride is exemplary; rough road ride is jittery/harsh. Seats are comfortable/durable; rest of interior has too much brittle plastic. HVAC/radio too button-intensive. Interior squeaks and rattles are starting. Well-designed conceptually, but execution lacking. Resale value plummeting even after 3 years.
