Saab 9-3 Saloon 1.9D Vector Sport (150bhp) 4d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
ok, but the lease deal I have eats a big chunk out of my car allowance!
Costs
I wouldn't like to have paid for the new tyres after just 13k (£175 each) and pushed hard it is difficult to get 36mpg.

On the road
Driving
Great to eat some motorway miles and on wider fast A and B roads though gets a bit detached on twisty stuff.
Performance
For the job I need it for it is good. Fastish and doesn't struggle to cope with overtaking and gradients.
-
Living with it
Reliability
4 trips to the dealers to have software update and replacement hydraulics and electronic for the ABS and electronic stability control. All on warranty, but proper annoying.
Image
I like it but can't help noticing a bit of a migration of BMW types towards the Saab!
Comfort
I think I'll take the armrest and seat with me.
