Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Vector 2.0T

Classy mid exec car, powerful for its class and extremely comfortable, I drove a Celica before this and a 3 series BMW before that and I found this Saab 9-3 Sport easily competes and all levels with those cars and beats them in many other areas.

The computer and gadgets are many and at times could be confusing but with a little time are easy to figure out, the ride is smooth and quiet, the sound level on motorways is extremely impressive.

I am now looking at buying the convertible model of this car.

I have owned my Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Vector 2.0T for almost a year. I use it to Drive from the Suburbs to Central London and also on Emergency (Blue Light) calls as I am a Fire Officer. The ride, even under Blue Light Conditions is fantastic and I feel a lot more confident than I did in a New Shape V6 Mondeo. The level of trim and external fittings for the price I feel is the best in the Small Exec class. When the car needs to be pushed it is very responsive, especially in the mid range. Switch the Auto Box over to manual and things really hot up. I was impressed with the 5 star NCAp rating and the quality and feel of the car.

I had a problem with one of the electronic keys that Saab re-programmed while I waited and also needed New Steering Lock 'Software' fitted as a result of the above.

The downside...I hope you like Petrol Stations... During a week where I have been in and out of Traffic and had a few Blue Light runs, I have had to re-fuel after just over 200 miles.

I was fed up driving my 325 Ci BMW Coupe so I decided to change style and image. After weeks of research I arrived at SAAB 9-3 Sport Saloon. People say it is a bit bland. To me it is one of the most stylish cars in this class, miles away from the boring looking Audi A4 a fresh departure from the rather overdesigned, uncomfortable and ordinary looking BMW 3 Series. The space in front makes it so refreshing. When you hit the bumps you can feel that this is a machine that has been well put together. My BMW was exciting but this SAAB is just enjoyable and so so comfortable.

The Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Vector 2.0t is unbelievably comfortable inside. There is so much power you feel like a plane taking off. It has a Strong image, people just cant stop looking and commenting on mine. The only bad experiance I have had is with the Saab dealer, they need more education on accessories.

The Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Vector 2.0t is my second Saab, the first was a lemon and they replaced it, now the second one is another lemon and they are no help. the car looks nice but you never want to own one, they suck in all weather, they handle rough and the service is horrible.

my Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Vector 2.0t is an automatic version. Had it for 6 months now, from new. A few teething problems with the auto closing windows, and some of the engine electronics, but these were sorted immediately by the garage, and all seems well now. A great car to drive. I do a mixture of city and open country driving and so the auto is great for nose to tail traffic in rush hour. Certainly fast enough - the auto can be flipped into tiptronic manual mode which gives a real rush when you want to blast past someone whose hogging the road in front.
