It may not be fair to rate this car yet, as I just picked it up 3 days ago. So far, it is my favorite car ever. It is very sporty with quick pick-up. Sound system and interior design are excellent. I am surrounded by air-bags. No oil change for 15000 miles (or more) and other than tire rotation every 5000, all maintenance is covered including roadside assistance. Trunk space is excellent. I think I am a Saab owner for life.

We picked this car up at the Factory and drove it to our home near Frankurt the next day. This car is completely at home while cruising at the 133mph gov. The magazines trash Saab for a couple reasons that stem from the FWD. It will never have the feel of a RWD BMW, but its great for a FWD. The shifter is fine untill you are speed shifting when it becomes a little slow. This and it's at the limit handleing are not up there with the BMW, but during spirited driving you'd never know it. It is only when one thrashes the car through a small road course, like the magazines do, that one would see the difference. Interior is much "nicer" than the BMW and the rear has more room than the BMW5dr

Parts may become scarce over time. GREAT car to drive. Very peppy. Shifts smooth. Seats are very supportive. Ride was rough over uneven payment and worse over bumps. Replaced Michelin tires with Pirelli Cintarano’s and ride improved quite substantially. Would definitely buy one again. Great convertible operation

I bought this car used a year ago and it has been great fun. Sporty and luxurious with lots of convenience features. A solid performer the v6 turbo packs a nice punch and the 6 speed automatic shifts better and quicker than I could, so I never feel required to use the paddle shifters. The variable valve timing really opens up the motor under full throttle as it lets out a ferocious scream. Yet quiet and extremely smooth in typical driving. And Saab stands behind the product, they did a free major repair for me even though the car was 5,000 miles past the warranty period! Massey Saab of Orlando is the best.
It's a great car, with a few quirks.

My previous car was a Subaru Impreza WRX. I wanted something a little more comfortable and upscale, but also unique. The 9-3 Aero fits the bill very well. It's extremely comfortable, very sporty, and gets amazing gas mileage. I'm getting 29 mpg on the highway. Midrange power seems limitless. It's every bit as enjoyable to drive on twisty back roads as the WRX was, but with a whole lot more luxury. I've had a couple of common minor problems over thee past 3 months, but all were fixed by the dealer - their service dept has been second to none. The stereo in the Aero is pretty good but not quite up to the level I expect from a premium brand.
