A Great Driving Experience

I love to drive this car. I look for any excuse to get out of the house and always take the long way home. The car drives like a dream. I gave my 2005 Saab 9-3 Arc with automatic transmission to another family member for this car with 6-speed transmission. What a difference! As good as the Arc was, this car makes me feel like I'm driving again. The subtle differences with engine, suspension and tuning make a huge improvement in the driving experience.

GM has ruined this car

I have had 2 Saabs in the past and I LOVED the cars. I think my current one is a lemon. It's been at the dealer for repair 4 times already, and I just owned it for 6 months. Very poor build quality.

I recently got this car for a Christmas present from my parents. I'm seventeen years old and previously had a 2005 accord. So far I loooove the Saab. It drives like a dream and has wonderful gas mileage. All my friends love my car. It doesn't take long to get used to the ignition in the console but leaving your sunroof open while raining it could cause a problem.

Most fun I've ever had in a sedan

This car encapsulates everything I want: style, speed, value, and dependability. I have a 44 mile round-trip work commute and I (almost) look forward to it.

My 20 cents

I bought the 2006 9-3 Aero in 2009. It had 22,000 miles. The car looks very nice, it's lots of fun to drive. It is faster than most of the similar priced European makes (which are usually more expensive). The 2-tone leather interior with silver trims look sporty and modern. The 2.8 V6T does consumes significant amount of fuel, which can add up, specially if you follow the owner's manual requirement of premium fuel only. Overall, I love it!
