Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Aero 2.0T

I have owned 2 BMW's But would say the SAAB 9-3 2.0T AERO nocks the spots of them for comfort shear driving pleasure and standard equipment. It is also one of the nicest looking saloons on the market just now.To be quite honest I cant think of anything negative to say about my car. If anyone is thinking about buying a bm or audi I would urge them not to ignore the SAAB

Well i have had this saab aero for just over a year now and WOW!!!

I love this car to bits its got all the mod cons eg... electric memory seats, half leather seats, cruise control, 210bhp 145mph power plant, 6 speed gearbox, 28-35 mpg depends how you drive and where.

This car is a smooth drive and handles really well, I have had audi's seats, vauxhalls and the saab 9-3 aero is alot more better in alot of ways.

Prices you can get a low milage one for around £5000 fully loaded on a 53 to 05 plate.

Insurance is quite cheap too i am 27 and my girlfriend is 23 and it costs fully comp with swiftcover just over £340 with protected no claims discount and this saab aero is group 15 so not bad for that high of a group.

More about the saab 9-3 aero WWW.SAABAEROPOWER.BLOGSPOT.COM quite a good read with a link to the saab owners forums worth a look before you buy one.

Overall, as this is the first Saab I have owned I am very pleased with the package having driven some 'HOT' Saabs hard I was fearful of an overpowered go kart however the 93 aero 210 is a nice bit of kit.

Great looking car and very comfortable. Acceleration isn't bad considering how much it weighs although at speed it feels a little light and twitchy. Suffers from torque steer if you drive it hard. It drinks fuel even if driven sensibly. My average was 26MPG and that was combined! I had to take it back to the dealer roughly twice a month to get it fixed (thankfully under warranty) but it can take 2 weeks to get it booked in to a dealer as they are so busy which I guess speaks for itself. Service intervals are longer than most cars but be warned a basic service costs more than double ordinary cars.

This was my second 93 but I wouldn't buy one again as both were in the garage far too often. It's a shame as they are very comfortable and very stylish but cost far too much to run.

The Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Aero 2.0T is a very good long distance high speed cruiser. It is no good for around-town driving if you want any form of fuel economy.

I have had some good comments on its looks. I have had a dozen BMW's and would prefer to remain with another Saab, except for the cost of ownership i.e. fuel mpg and depreciation.

Reliability and dealer service is first class. Saab got this model right.

On the whole, not a great car but an alternative to the car park full of BMW's that I park in!

Has reasonable performance (can be made to look silly by a 330D, pretty much any day of the week) has a pleasing interior, and people do comment on it's looks, but sadly turbo lag, has put paid to me getting another

Had it a year now and loaded it with extras. On the road for £29K (so not cheap).

The Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Aero 2.0T is a very good car. Having test driven it rivals (BMW 330, A4 3.0 Quattro, CLK240) it won hands down. It is comfortable to drive, quick, well equiped and looks good (and you don't see too many on the roads!).

Granted the A4 was better on the handling, but when looking at CO2 (as most Company Car Drivers will) the Saab has eceptional emissions (207cc for 210BHP!!)
