Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon

If you want an executive appearance, then the Saab 9-3 Saloon offers all the refinement you need. The Saab 9-3 Saloon range has four equipment options beginning with the 9-3 Saloon Airflow which has dual-zone climate control, a CD player and cruise control and ranging up to the range-topping 9-3 Saloon Aero models with twin exhausts, bi-xenon headlights and heated seats. Despite being feature-rich, the Saab 9-3 Saloon is practical too with a no-nonsense driver’s environment, good head and legroom for passengers and standard safety features including twin front, side and curtain airbags, and anti-whiplash head restraints.

Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon 1.9tid (150bhp) 2008

5 star review

Enjoyed the drive, quick but not with the harsh suspension my BMW has. The BMW suspension is great to drive round corner but is annoying in everyday life. Saab brings a very good blend of both and without the yob-ish image when pulling up to see customers.

Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon 2.0 T Aero 2007

5 star review

I love it, easily a match for the BMW 3-Series and X-Type but without the price tag. I test drove all three and went with the 9-3 as I felt it looked a smart motor and handled as well as the other two. Grap a bargain!

This car looks great but unfortunately the handling does not live up to it’s looks. In order to succeed in this sector the car surely has to have both! The Saab is in a difficult position, it’s obviously not a BMW or Audi beater but likes to think of itself as a step up the motoring ladder from the average rep-mobile. With the launch of the critically acclaimed new Mondeo however i’d say the Saab may just need to have a re-think of it’s priorities!

Test drove one the other day. Handled like a cow and everything about it seemed dated. Will not be getting one, my advice would be to stay away from this one. Got a test drive in a BMW 3-series tomorrow, hoping for better.
