My Saab drives great, love the turbo pick up. My only complaint is the electronics are an expensive mess. Even though repaired, the electronic locks never seem to work correctly. Even after being repaired it didn't take long before the locks were a problem again. Frequent and costly repairs have caused me to rethink my ownership of this vehicle. You expect repairs on an older vehicle but the repairs needed are constant and costly. I recently had my vehicle towed into the dealership and they said it was the battery and replaced it. It worked for about a week after that and now sits in my driveway. I can't afford to have it towed for the repair (AGAIN).

2008 Saab 9-3 Turbo X SportCombi 4dr Wagon AWD (2.8L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Run, do not walk, to your Saab dealer and buy this car. Now. Not tomorrow. With only 600 imported into the US, and I suspect only 200 are Combis, this will turn heads and you will be one of a very few. High performance, and, yes Virginia, practical as heck. Took this bad boy through 3 horrible driving rain storms between PA and KS, and handled like it was on dry road. Messes bad with the heads of the young lads with hopped up Civics etc and ticks off BMW and Merc owners. High ego gratification while loaded with subtlety. Total aesthetic is well executed - a piece of Swedish art. Don't believe the tepid reviews - if you love cars, this is the real deal. Saab hits another home run.
Get it while you can!

I've had the car almost two weeks now and what a blast. Very quick and feels very solid. Love the exhaust note and the low end torque, which I wasn't used to in my previous 98 Saab turbo. If you like to drive this is a great car with the 6 spd manual. While the shift action may not be as smooth as I would like, it enhances the experience much more than the automatic version. While the MSRP may scare you, Saab's incentives make this car a great buy! Excellent car for the money and fun factor!
