This car is so responsive my husband wanted to kiss the tires. The pedals and manual shift are so tight the feeling of control is just unbelievable. Less body roll....wow! Spend your time driving!
Don't Buy!

Do not buy a Saab! This car is riddled w/ electrical problems! The ECM has a known defect which causes the ABS, Stability Control, Traction Control, brakes all show as failing, then the speedometer and all other dash components stop working! Only fix is to pull over and restart! Talk about dangerous. Saab knows about it and has no fix in sight. Stay clear of this junky car. Bought used 8K and have had it in the shop every month or every other month. Warranty is up in a month and so is my ownership. Time to buy a quality car. All service people at the dealer know be by name- no joke.

Have had it at the saab service center for several electrical issues, windows, radio controls on steering wheels. Brakes and Rotors service. Coolant Reservoir has had to be replaced 3 times in 1 year! Now the suspension or something is wrong with front end contributing to wear on both front tires. I'm back to the Saab Service center!

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.
Great Value @ 60K Miles 9-3 Aero

Just hit 60,000 miles on the 9-3 Aero after 2.5 years - bought new. Mostly highway miles in the desert heat. Just replaced brake pads at 57,000 miles - first time the brakes required any maintenance - be careful - no squealers to alert that your brakes need replacement. Coolant tank replaced twice. Only other problem - unable to start - dealer fixed a switch that had "popped open." Car is worth the money and is fun to drive - quick, comfortable and reliable. Getting 25 mpg on highway and about 22 mpg combined city and highway.
