I`ve had my Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon Vector 2.2 TiD family car for 14 months now during which time I`ve clocked up only 34K and it`s slowly day by day turned itself into a rattling tired shell.

Each day I drive it I wish I`d gone for a Vectra and saved myself £1,000s because that`s basically what it is (and feels like!)

The interior has become tired and shabby and I`ve lost count of the number of rattles and squeaks that have begun to breed in there.

Performance has dwindled & fuel consumption is getting worse and worse by the month.

Turbo went about two months pushing oil into places its not supposed to go, and then Saab had the nerve to tell me I`d not been topping up the oil. It took them a whole week of running the engine just to clear the excess oil. This left me driving GM courtesy cars such as Corsas for three weeks, and now I`ve eventually got it back it feels dead and unresponsive.



Avoid like the plague, go for Audi BMW or even Honda before Saab until they get it right.

Could have been such a great car.
