2006 Saab 9-3 Aero 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
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.
Best Car I've ever owned!

I bought my Saab new in 2006 after quite a bit of due diligence and it has been best vehicle I have ever owned. It is fun to drive, economical, reliable, and very functional. It's great in the snow and the turbo gives it great acceleration.

10K miles summary: - coolant reservoir broken - ABS pump replaced - air bypass valve replaced - software that control windows updated - HID leveling system replaced The car cannot survive a week without having to spend another week at the dealership. we made more miles on the courtesy cars than on our 9-3.
Love this car,

This car is very comfortable to drive. The turbo gives the car great pick up. The one con about this car is the dashboard markings are horrible - the writing actually wears off. For a luxury car especially this is unacceptable. Also the Saab logo on the trunk wore off - how dumb is that. Other than those things everyone who has driven my car loves it. Unfortunately, I just had a rollover accident and totalled it, but we were safe. I wish they hadn't stopped making these cars. I've had this car for 2 years.

I've owned my 9-3 for exactly one year, just hit 32k miles, and i love it just as much as the day i got it. I picked my silver 9-3 over an Accord, Legacy, TSX, S40, and Mercury Milan. I purchased the car used/ certified with 20k miles on it from a local Saab dealer. Some have mentioned that Saabs aren't common however where i live they are very popular due to the dealers rapport with its' customers. The car is a wonderful value and there's very few, if any, cars in this segment that compare. The car is a blast to drive has great fuel economy, and i love the styling both inside and out. I treat this car better than most treat their kids and it loves me back just as much.
