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.

Overall the Saab 9-3 has delivered as expected with no complaints. The reliability, quality, performance and economy are all where there were advertised to be. I have received as high as 30 mpg on the freeway. I have 15,000 on the car and nothing has failed or needed service. The Saab is just simply fun to drive! All with a very good price on a car that is all it is advertised to be.

Overall, I am happy with my Saab 9-3. The car is fun to drive and comes standard with several whistles and bells that others charge for. The car is stylish and very fun to drive. However, I have to agree with others who make mention of constant service. There is always a rattle or some little piece of cheap plastic that falls off of something. A total pain. The electrical has been an issue too (Headlights and power locks). However, our Saab service department has been great to work with!

The thrust of the turbo and solid handling of the car.

This vehicle has been great. It has the ability to accelerate without the feeling that you are being thrown around the car. The overall comfort of this car is second to none.
