Well-designed, capable and credible alternative to the German cars in this class. Excellent engines, fine cabin and satisfying to drive. And a little different
Styling a little bland, ride poor with some wheel/tyre combinations, not quite as accomplished as BMW 3-Series, noisy diesels
A Saab for which excuses need not be made, and a satisfying, sensible buy to boot
Anecdotal evidence suggests that the outgoing 9-3 wasn't as well put together as it should have been, with a number of glitches reported, but this latest model looks altogether better in terms of fit and finish, and follows the true Saab tradition of being solid and reliable. Few reports of anything other than very minor problems as yet; Saabs have always been good for 200,000+ mileages, and this one should be even longer lasting.
