Best Every Day Driver I Have Owned

I bought my 2006 9-3 with a manual transmission 5 years ago with 70k miles on it. I now have 130k miles on it. It is by far the best every day driver I have owned. It handles great in all weather conditions and is extremely reliable. I have not had any breakdowns, it gets good mpg, has good acceleration, and again handles great! I have done regular maintenance using the recommended Mobile 1 full synthetic European blend oil every 5k miles as well as some normal wear and tear items on a 100k mi car ei: brakes, rotors, and a clutch. All electronics and mechanical items on the car still work like new. If you are looking for a used vehicle that is reliable and fun to drive, I would strongly recommend the Saab.

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.

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.
A great car, but some complaints.

This car has been really excellent, but not perfect. As the first new car I bought for myself out of college, I wanted something that would last me for years, get good gas mileage, and was fun to drive. So far, so good! The gas mileage is pretty good, I average about 28 mpg in the winter. The styling is nice, but the interior is a little bland. My biggest complaint would have to be the brakes. I had to replace them far too early in my opinion, and was told that Saab had changed the braking ratio without changing the brakes. Not cool. The top speed in first gear is also quite low, little oomph until 2nd. Otherwise, none of the problems others have had, such as electrical and whatnot.
