Saab 9-3 Aero w/ Manual Transmission

If you like to drive slowly, then don't buy this car... just test drive it and you will understand what I mean. All my life the cars I have driven have to be at 5000 rpm or higher to enjoy any real power. This car gives you power at 2000 rpm through 5500 rpm. It is strong, fast, responsive. I get 28 miles per gallon (with 75% freeway driving and 25% city driving). If you're looking at the Saab 9-3 Aero, you are probably a very unique person who doesn't like to have what everyone else has, that's why I bought mine.

Anything But a Saab Story

I went in search of a Saab 9-3 based on styling, reliability, and its impeccable safety record. I thought the car would be nice to drive, but was very surprised at how much fun it really was. I have to be careful, for it seems to really want to move. It's comforting to know that I have the responsiveness and acceleration capability from a safety-through-avoidance standpoint.

Great car. Was skeptical before I leased it for my wife. The acceleration is great. Cannot feel the turbo kick in - unlike my vw and volvo. Driver comfort is excellent. Great for new york city. Can park and accelerate easily.

The car is very safe, and drives like a dream, with mileage like a little Honda and performance that is out of this world. I could not be more happy with it! I think it is a shame that more people are not aware of what a great car this is for the money.

So Far So Good

Bought this car almost two months ago. Too early to know for sure, but so far best car I have owned. It has snowed every week since I bought it, so I haven't been able to "joy ride" much, but the Front Wheel Drive handles snow well. The interior is my personal favorite. I liked the interior more than the 3-series and the C-class at the dealer. The trunk is huge for a little car. Overall we love it.
