Saab 9-3 Hatchback 2.0HOT SE Sport 5d (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great spec, tough engines, 106k and it still feels like it was built yesterday.
Costs
Thirsty when driven enthusiastically. Other than that, reasonable so far (fingers crossed).
-
On the road
Driving
Tyre-shredding wheelspin on fast take-offs. With lots of torque steer. Fantastic perfomance. Face aching grin throughout even the shortest of journeys. Hills, overtaking and fools in BMWs a doddle.
Performance
Fast, handling could be better.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Hasn't let me down yet.
Image
Subtle, understated and gets jaws dropping tearing past boy racers.
Comfort
Like driving an armchair. Long journeys are a relaxed affair.

Security
