I had no intention of owning a Saab until I stopped to take a look at a 9-3 Sportcombi at a local dealership. I have owned Volvos for over thirty years, but never a Saab. The 9-3 Sportcombi comes in at about $10,000 less than a Volvo XC 70 wagon. Yes, the Saab has less room and is slightly smaller, but it also gets significantly better mileage and is noticeably more nimble. This car is a real sleeper -- when you look at what you get for the money it's pretty hard to beat. I'm thinking of getting a second one to replace my Ford van. Also, there is virtually no turbo lag, and a lot of get up and go when you need it. Mileage is outstanding for a car of its size.
Understated and underappreciated fun car

We started with every foreign-built sedan under $30K and test-drove nearly all 13 on our short-list. Wanted something more unique than what we see all over the roads. My wife and I left the 9-3 test drive with the first smiles on our faces. A refined ride as the TSX with added turbo boost and comfortable seats. Just had my first service - at 10,000 miles - and love everything about the car.

It's been about 10 months since I submitted a 1 year review so I figured I'd provide some more info. First, my 9- 3 just hit 40k miles. Outside of oil changes the only things I've had to replace is front brakes, tires and headlight bulbs. So in my two years of owning the car I've spent about $800 in repairs. I am extremely thankful for this but I do take very very good care of my Saab. I bought this car out of college after doing a good amount of research. I wanted a nice, sporty car that that offered a little luxury but didn't cost a fortune to buy or repair. The car has delivered in all aspects. If Saab pulls through, I'll buy again.
Love it!!!

Never having owned a Saab before, I was a little apprehensive at first. That is, until I got behind the wheel! the performance is captivating and the drive is a whole lot quieter than expected (via other reviews on other websites). Fuel economy is fair to well in city driving and terrific on hwy. I love the interior gadgets and ability to connect my iPod. We've had it for over a month now and I continue to be impressed with every aspect of this vehicle. Sound system is terrific and the power moonroof is an absolute MUST!
