2006 Saab 9-3

This is my third Saab and it is absolutely a wonderful driving experience. Coming from a former Indy race car fan, I'm vividly reminded of the race... the engine sound & speed of the cars. It has that certain sound reminiscent of that great noise. It feels lots more powerful than my other 9-3's due to turn-on-a-dime cornering, hold on the road fast speed, the inside quiet, speakers (woofer in the trunk). I had to watch my speed with the prior car. Now I absolutely have to watch it. So fast so quickly!!! I love it the best of the other Saabs. My only wish is to have this performance placed inside a smaller but the remarkable Saab body style of the 80's. That was THE CAR!!!

I was looking for a high class car that wouldn't cost me too much (like BMW). This car is definitely the right car. I paid about $14,500 with 37,000 on it... worth every penny too. The car drives really well and has great pickup because of the turbo. I should also mention that I get 27mpg in the city on a regular basis... really great!

I was a tad bit scared buying my 2006 SAAB 9-3 2.0T w/ 103,000 miles but I was able to get it for only $3,500. At 115,000 miles, I've been pleasantly surprised by its performance. My only complaint is the broken fuel gauge issue that makes me track mileage on the odometer between fillups. It handles very well and the suspension is smooth.

Gotta get a Saab

Overall, I have been very impressed with this car. The start off the line is a little slow, but once that turbo get's going you really feel the punch. It handles like it's on rails (name the movie). For the semi-compact size of this vehicle it is still really roomy on the inside. I used to drive an SUV and the gas was just killing me so I decided to get this instead.

Two Years and Still Love It!

I am just now adding my review after two years into my three year lease and I still love this car. I find the car to be a great performer and very comfortable. I tested the BMW 3 series, the Audi A4 and the Infiniti G35 and have never had a second thought about my decision. A couple of minor things (mostly electronics related) have caused the car to go into service but with the warranty and free scheduled service it has been an easy car to live with. I find the car to be quite handsome in the euro way and is unique on the road. Many friends who own BMW 3 series comment how they get tired of seeing themselves at every street corner. A solid buy/lease.
