Any Saab 9-3 Daily Drivers??
Anyone Love/ hate their Saab 9-3?
I am thinking of a 2006 9-3 Aero with v-6 Turbo and 250 hp. The wife was not happy with me originally considering a boxter or C4.. as a commuter car. She insists we will look too impractical and snobbish if we have 2 Porsches. FYI- Its replacing a S600... however practical that seems.

I've got a Saab 9-3 Arc (last 5 speed in the state
 ).It's a fun little car, but with only 7K miles, it's already got an annoying rattle, the OnStar system never worked from day 1, and you can't put your arm on the window sill since the door lock button gets in the way. The seats aren't comfortable (IMO) over long trips. It's still a vast improvement over the previous model 9-3. I've gotten 36 mpg in highway driving, which ain't bad at all. |

Hvaen't driven the latest model, have a 9-5 Aero that's been good to us, but this months car & driver did a comparison of 7 or 8 cars and the Saab came in at the bottom of the pack...they said (as they always do) buy the 3 series.

The new v-6 turbo sounds like a hoot over the old 4 cyl version.
I also need front wheel drive for the winter.
