Saab 9 3 reviews

First time in a Saab and compared to my A4 S-Line the Saab is bye far better and even cheaper than the Audi. AA website was great too perfect and trustworthy . 5 Stars. To the man who can.

Now approaching 100,000 miles, and I really can't think of a good reason to change, no matter how much I fancy a new car. Typically 53 mpg in mostly motorway driving.

Good car all round, bar the petrol consumption around town and top rate road tax. Love the car, however next purchase will be more mpg and less tax! Just sad Saab is no more.

Good handling, power, economy and comfort. Have had to remove the Exhaust Emmissions filter - dumb idea and totally impractical where motorists do limited motorway miles. Interior a little worse than my previous 9-3 coupe but not excessively so. All round - 8 out of 10.

I love the benefit of a convertible, the performance of a good engine...useful to be able to get out of trouble at any speed if necessary. The fun of a semiauto gearbox and smooth driving. Only weakness is that this car was made while Saab were owned by GM and is not as good overall as my previous Saabs when they were an independent company. I still love the fun of driving in the summer with the roof down, while still having a reasonable sized boot.

That may sound old fashioned these days but the comfort and reliability of my trusty 9.3 is second to none. Yes I wish it did more miles to the gallon but I feel comfortable, safe and relaxed when I'm driving it and that counts for a lot. There is plenty of room in the estate part for my two dogs and plenty of room for me and three passengers in the main body. I bought it second hand two years ago and have had very few issues with it. I would definitely consider another Saab when time comes to change it.

Comfortable, stylish, good performance. I really enjoy driving this car. I would buy another if they were still manufactured!

This car looks stunning in metallic ice blue with beige leather upholstery. It has been totally reliable and oozes build quality.I purchased it new when Saab UK were handing out great bargain offers four years ago and have never regretted my decision.I hope to keep the car for many years yet. It is economical to run delivering 41mpg and servicing by the local Saab specialist does not break the bank either. It is cramped in the back for the occasional rear seat passenger but if I wanted a comfortable saloon I would have bought one. It is such a shame that Saab went down the pan because they managed to deliver a very high quality product at a very reasonable price.

Had the car 2 years, I am the second owner, bought it for its performance, reliability and economy. Had a new alternator fitted within 4 months of purchase, car had done 84000 miles, since then no other problems, regularly serviced at a SAAB specialist. fitted winter tyres November 2012 and runs ok in the snow and ice, put summer tyres back on it April 2013. Performance, the car id the TTID 180bhp so quite adequate ! Running cost are not too bad and cheaper than my previous 2 cars, Jaguar & Audi. comfort, sports suspension so can be a bit hard at times but generally ok The interior can be a bit cramped in the rear, not really designed for 3 adults but can cope when needed, the back seats fold so I can put my mountain bike in the back if needed but then its only a 2 seater overall very pleased with the car and would buy another if they were still in production

It is a great pity that this manufacturer went to the wall; a lovely car and mainly very reliable; superb comfort and drivability, I always feel safe on the roads in my trusty old Saab; now being sold as I need a newer car; I so wish there was a new Saab model available.

GOOD SOLID CAR VERY RELIABLE NOW WITH 130000 MLS VERY EASY ON TYRE WEAR GOOD LEVEL OF FUEL CONSUMPTION INTERIOR WEARING WELL GIVEN HARD USE

Only had 2 problems with the car in 12 years. Crankshaft sensor and a rear speaker replacement. Now completed 87k miles and still going strong.

100% reliable,air con and heating very good.Seating very comfortable.The wide tires are good for road holding but are rubbish on snow or mud.48 MPG around town and 60 mpg on a long run.Still rust free and shiny.

A really comfortable car to drive. What a pity I won't be able to replace it with the same make! Excellent fuel consumption on long journeys even when heavily laden. Very helpful servicing from previous Saab agency.

Value for money, virtually flawless motoring ,vehicle for me. However you look at it the SAAB is a good buy if your top priority is not saving the planet. Reliable as all Swedish cars seem to be. Comfortable and safer than most mass market cars of it's age (mine's 10 years old), turbo makes for a rapid response when needed and the brakes have saved my neck at least once, you know the sort of moment when you wait for the impact and stop with a couple of yards to spare. I guess the other safety features will also do their job if ever called upon, I always feel safe in this car as in all the other Saab's I have owned (900,9000,9-5 & 9-3), ok so the Toyota Supra was faster,the Focus more economical, the MGF more British and the Toyota MR2 more impractical but as an all rounder the SAAB romps home in first place. Wish I knew what could replace it !.

My third saab, generally reliable but if it goes wrong it comes with a big repair bill and delay in getting parts from dealers related to saab bankruptcy Fast comfy cars, but suffer electrical issues

I use my car as a taxi so spend hours behind the wheel I regard it as my second home so it is extremely important that it has all the attributes of a car that is the right one for my job. This car has it all and it is a great shame that they are no longer manufactured.

I find my vehicle useful, comfortable and pleasant to drive if a little on the expensive side in terms of fuel use and maintenance

What a pity there will be no more Saabs! This is a very reliable, sturdy, economic vehicle. Service costs are pretty high however. Not sure what to have in its place when I retire this one!

Reliable since new with comfortable seats and good performance. It is an AERO model which is quite fast but only does about 32mpg. It's a bit dated now but still a fun car to drive.
