2009 Saab 9-3 Review
All-wheel drive, more power highlight full-range line.
"The 2009 Saab 9-3 is arguably the most attractive, capable and sportiest ever built. It offers a great combination of performance, comfort, and space, and real-world gas mileage that won't break the family piggybank. The 9-3 does business in a crowded near-luxury segment part of the market, and it's a worthy competitor, with lots of built-in value and a long-standing reputation for active and passive safety...." more

"Although the 9-3 is Saab's best-selling model, this entry-level luxury car still mainly appeals to a small niche group of buyers. This could be a good thing for those looking for a unique alternative to the German and Japanese......" more

" YOU'LL LIKE THIS CAR IF...
Some shoppers gravitate toward the Saab 9-3 partly because of its "stealth" personality; it delivers more in performance and handling than its straight-forward appearance suggests. Others simply like the car's solid, tight Eurosedan feel, which is likely to be enhanced further yet when the XWD option arrives.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF...
Even more than their Swedish Volvo cousins, Saabs used to be known for various quirks and idiosyncrasies, which fans adored but some others disdained. Things like the console-mounted ignition – a long-standing Saab hallmark – can still prove too peculiar for some." more

" YOU'LL LIKE THIS CAR IF...
If you've always admired Saab's distinctive convertibles, you'll be especially excited to know that the latest iteration offers a newfound sense of solidity and refinement.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF...
With BMW and Volvo moving to a retractable hard-top designs, those who don't like the unsure feeling inspired by a cloth top (not to mention its eventual wear over time), might think twice about the 9-3." more
2008 Saab 9-3 Review
New looks, more power; available all-wheel drive.
"The 2008 Saab 9-3 is the prettiest, sportiest Saab ever built. It offers a great combination of performance, comfort, and space, and real-world gas mileage that won't break the family piggybank. The 9-3 does business in a crowded part of the market, the $35,000 near-luxury segment, and it's a worthy competitor, with lots of built-in value and a long-standing reputation for active and passive safety...." more
2007 Saab 9-3 Review
Flying its own route.
"The Saab 9-3 is a delight to drive. The SportCombi is a nice combination of sportiness and hauling function in a pretty, modern wrapper that offers more than 70 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat flopped out of the way. The high-output V6 engine is a hoot to drive, with plenty of low-down torque, and highway mileage across the line varies from 28 to 30 miles per gallon. The current 9-3 manages to remain a Saab yet has no really bad manners or habits...." more
