Great car
I got my 9-3 SportWagon Aero (2.8L) two weeks ago. The car is very sharp - accelerates great, handles great. Interior quality is not Lexus level, but beats my other car (Honda Accord).
77000 Miles and No Problems
Still a quiet, smooth ride. 2.0t has more than adequate power. Summer mileage 26 to 28 mpg on regular; winter mileage 23 to 25 in NH. No mechanical or electrical problems other than H7 low beam bulbs have a 4-6 month life expectancy. Exterior and interior have held up well. Highly recommend.

A Sweet Swede
I bought it new and it's still under warranty. Love the design and utility. I've driven it across country and back twice in great comfort and safety. Superb handling allowed me to avoid being rear-ended by another driver. Handled a blizzard in Chicago in February. Routinely get 33 mpg on freeways using cruise control. Great buy compared to BMW or Audi - thousands less. HID headlights are the best I've ever seen with. Real red walnut trim is classy. Only issue is self-locking doors; they sometimes engage/disengage/engage several times when starting; dealer can't seem to correct this. Will definitely consider another Saab when I'm ready for another new car.
Great car
I traded my 4WD SUV the day a nasty ice storm came through. Slid all the way to the dealership, thought I was nuts to trade that day. Drove home 35 miles on the same ice in a car I knew little about. Performed aewsome, never missed a step. Since then my Saab has been the BEST vehicle I hav ever owned. None of the issues others note, great hwy mpg, fast, safe, stylish, reliable, exclusive (see very few SCs on the road), and tracks through snow and ice w/o the need for AWD. I needed car I could "bond" with, and this is definitely it!
Everything seems GREAT to me!
Not certain about some critical reviews here but I've had no problems so far and am having a great time driving this vehicle. Plenty of headroom (6'3"), which was one of the main selling points for me - had trouble with just about any other car/vehicle (even my brother in law's Escalade). This vehicle has superb ergonomics and comfort with handling and performance that does not disappoint. I was cross shopping against an Audi A3 but honestly, there is no comparison (other than the Audi's superior DSG transmission - would have loved one of those in this car). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a great handling, powerful and good looking "wagon".
