2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T SportCombi 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

I have the black Sport Combi, and everyone agrees - it looks sharp! The upward rake makes it look very sporty and unique from other wagons. Tne leather interior is beautiful, and the car feels solid. The Turbo 2.0 provides a lot of power to a 4-cylinder engine - more than my previous V6 car.

Traded an 05 Subaru Legacy-i for the 9- 3. The Saab's seats are very comfortable and there are a lot more features in the Saab. Acceleration is great and overall very fun to drive. The vehicle does have unique look to it without being quirky or gimmicky. Hwy mileage has been excellent at 29- 31. City is good at 24 mpg. Mileage can be worse if you really step into it. I was concerned about overall reliability so I did purchase the service contract with it. Huge amount of features and adjustments for the sound system, climate control, and information systems. Keep the rpm's over 2000 and it runs well. Keep them over 3000 and there is no turbo lag.

2006 Saab 9-3 Aero 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

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.

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.
Incredible sedan !

I tend to buy cars that are uncommon, Saab was a natural choice, knowing their history also made me curious. When I test drove a Saab 9-3, I couldn't believe people haven't "found" this car yet. Saab 9-3 is the most ergonomically designed car around. Extremely well designed car, so beautiful and stylish outside and inside... my friends (having M3, 5 series, Merc etc) were wanting to get rides in it for a month! You will feel the difference the moment you sit in the driver's seat. You feel euphoria when "turbo" kicks in. Incredible dash, controls, cool features and very comfortable seats. Huge trunk and glovebox. Officially safest (not Volvo) vehicle on road today... sidebags galore. Just love it.
