Saab 9-3 Saloon (2002 - 2011) 2.0T Aero 4d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Says to most people i know that i have recently come into a bit of money. Don't forget, they no what i was driving before. Seriously, i like to think that it makes me look classy. It does turn a few heads admittedly.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Jealous, delighted, jealous, all in that order.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, I love the thing

What are you likely to buy next?

Gotta be Saab

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£13,995

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, i got a good deal. Brother in law went with me and he did the talking......You gotta be cheeky to get a good deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always loved the look of Saab. Personally i believe it is as beautiful as a BMW or a MERC but it just looks meaner.........Probably a bit less desirable to the car thief too.

What was the dealer like?

I bought the car.....they must be getting something right.

What's it like to drive?

Smooth, comfortable, fast. Found that in my old car you could slow down in 2nd gear and speed up again no problem. With the Saab, any lower than 10mph it needs to go back to 1st. That should not be seen as a problem though.

What's it like to park?

So far so good.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing gone wrong so far

What's most practical about your car?

Easy controls

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I like the button on the key that activates the lights and the panic alarm. Very helpful in those big car parks when you can't remember where you've parked.
