Fun, but if you like audio, avoid '06

I found this car fun to drive. It is peppy and corners well. Great torque/power. Unfortunately, the overall fit and finish is not great. If you like buttons and knobs, you'll love the '06. Though I like the heads up display on the '06, it renders the dash's radio display almost 100% irrelevant. Apparently, the H-up display was removed for '07. The 300w Infotainment system (w/o nav.) on the 2006 Aero is a joke. The power is placed towards the front which renders the rear speakers and 'subwoofers' powerless. The bass is muddled and there is really nothing you can do to replace the system.
I love it

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.

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 for the value

After looking at similar class cars nothing beat the value of the 93 Aero. Cheaper than the competition with little difference between featured and performance. Fun to drive. It is terrible in the snow, I was expecting better from a front wheel drive car.
Easy on the Plastic

Overall, this car is a fantastic value - great styling, fun to drive, very safe, nice handling, surprising power. I get compliments constantly about how great the car looks. However, I am very disappointed with the interior build quality. Can a car have any more plastic than this one? The arm rest on the door, the steering wheel, underneath the steering column, the gear shift, you name it. Because of all the plastic, there is a lot of rattling noise.
