Used 2007 Saab 9-3 Consumer Reviews
Different Kind of Car
I have driven lots of other cars from Bimmers to Hondas. Personally, I find it to be a beautiful car. The drive is refined, with a more compliant ride than my Mazda6. The steering is precise, although the body will understeer out of a tight turn if you're not careful. The engine is leaps and bounds better than any turbo-4 I've driven short of the Subaru WRX. The power delivery is strong and fairly smooth. The much-maligned interior layout is perfectly simple to me. The seats, though comfortable, lack any sort of grip, and are short on lateral support. The 6-speed is a bit heavy, and can be a bit tricky with some of the throws. The brakes are adequate and have good feel.
Great Vehicle
Great car! Little leery of Saab before purchase, but absolutely love the ride.

60th Anniversary package rocks
Had the car for almost 2 years. Really been nothing but a pleasure from day one. This is the car I should have bought 10 years ago, though it wasn't available ten years ago. Bose stereo is wonderful. Ride and performance are really nice. Punching the gas every once in a while is a blast. Road noise is not nearly as bad as my former Subaru. Interior design is lovely though there is too much hard, sort-of-cheap-feeling plastic. Rear fold-down seats really create a humongous hatchback-like cargo area. Dealer has been great. The warranty and maintenance are really top notch. Newer models don't have as long of a warranty. Roof rack bars look awesome.
Still Love It
Its been a great car through 20K miles. Only complaint I had was when I tried to change the tire and there were caps on the lugs. The special tool was in the glove box. I had to call the dealer to figure this out. Other than that I've really loved this car. Its the only car I've planned to keep beyond two years... or at least until the warranty is up. Too bad Saab could end up being wiped out. Dealership has been superb. I've been really impressed with the service. Car is very comfortable on long trips. I drove 2000+ miles in the span of a week and they were all a pleasure.
Don't Let Saab Brand Die!
Going on nearly 3 years with this car. Totally sweet experience. Comfortable yet sporty ride, nice performance, beautiful inside and out.
