Took advantage of SAABs troubles to purchase a 9-3 at 0.0% financing. Got the stripper model - no roof - manual passenger seat - 6 speed manual. Bright red. Great car. Downside - no heated seats - no fog lights. Upside - roomy. No matter what Consumer Reports said, build quality is top notch. Shifter little balky, but no worse than previous Audi's. Clutch very easy. Turbo took a week to get used too, but concerns over torque steer overblown. Gas mileage is really good - surprisingly so. Went from a Cad CTS to a Mazda6 to cut payments and get more gas mileage - after 1 year - went to SAAB with - lower payments and better gas mileage!

Bought my Saab in Dec. 09 and got a steal of a deal. Took it on it's first long trip last month 1,800 miles. Fuel economy was excellent (31.8-32.4) on regular gas with cruise at 80 mph. This car drives like a dream however the front seats really need work, our 2010 Jetta has superior seat comfort. This is well made car with a great engine and handling. Although this is my first Saab it may not be the last.

Unfortunately, this Saab was influent more by GM than my previous versions. The all wheel drive sounds nice but the trade-off in road handling, ground clearance, gas mileage and the lost of the hatch back makes it just another high end sedan. Mechanically it has been a sold car. With 115,000 miles, it has been near perfect. Keep up the planned services and it makes for good dependable transportation. It's 2023 and my 2010 Saab is still going strong. It's the end of 2023 and just put the snow tires on. The Saab is great in snow. Ended up replacing a broken (original) front spring, darn pot holes. It's now May of 2024. Last fall I had to replace a pump for the all wheel drive unit. (Another reason why I liked my old FWD 1999 / 93 better.) The 2010 still purrs and feels solid. It's a comfortable car that does well in snow but could use more clearance. No plans to trade yet.

Much like one of the previous ratings, I too have had 5 Volvos and have watched their quality and reliability degrade over the years. Recently traded a 2006 S60 wrought with problems for a slick, black 2009 93 and I couldn't be happier. Same perks as other ratings - a blast to drive! great acceleration, comfortable, sporty, handles great, better MPG than advertised. I think I'm now a Saab guy and will probably buy another if this keeps up. Very happy with this car.
Great Car

Just purchased a new 2009 9-3 Comfort loaded. Xenon, tiptronic, sun roof, bluetooth, heated seats,... Sticker was $38k, paid $22k. I'm amazed by this car! it's fast, fun to drive, comfortable, quiet, and I'm getting 32 MPG on my 100 mile per day commute. If GM does the right thing and sells the brand I WILL buy another one. We've been a Volvo family for years but this Saab blows Volvo away (we've owned 5 Volvo's)
