Used 2006 Saab 9-3 Wagon Consumer Reviews
So far so good
I was a bit skeptical of buying my first Saab. I have read of reliability issues but so far this car has been perfect.
High Value Alternative
Recently bought the car, with just a couple hundred miles in, I really like it. Low torque steer, good cornering stability, quiet ride, and decent economy.

Great value, excellent performance.
I had no intention of owning a Saab until I stopped to take a look at a 9-3 Sportcombi at a local dealership. I have owned Volvos for over thirty years, but never a Saab. The 9-3 Sportcombi comes in at about $10,000 less than a Volvo XC 70 wagon. Yes, the Saab has less room and is slightly smaller, but it also gets significantly better mileage and is noticeably more nimble. This car is a real sleeper -- when you look at what you get for the money it's pretty hard to beat. I'm thinking of getting a second one to replace my Ford van. Also, there is virtually no turbo lag, and a lot of get up and go when you need it. Mileage is outstanding for a car of its size.
mmmmmmm
Just took delivery three weeks ago and have already put 3000k on my new Saab 9- 3 sport combi. With two 100lb dogs and me over 6'6" I was worried that the wagon wouldn't be big enough, but it fits me like a glove! There is certainly enough room and it is so much more fun to drive than an SUV. I'm a big back road driver and this car is perfect for that. Love it!

What a fun car to drive. Expecting our first baby and wanted safety first and foremost in a wagon. Tired of SUV. Considered the Volvo V70 and XC70 but didn't have the same "fun" quotient. We had a Saab 9-3 convertible before and had always been impressed by it's torque at low RPMs. The 9-3 Sports Combi did not disappoint. We were hooked after the first drive. The redesign suspension makes handling superb. I love that it has full complement of airbags including curtain airbags. Gets good gas mileage, is fun and unique to drive. Would like to have gotten the 9-5 but it's in desperate need of a redesign.
