2003 SAAB 9-3 Aero review from UK and Ireland
"Performance family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only minor (annoying) problems :
The interior trim has started to rattle even at this early age?
The window seals on the back door let in "road noise".
General comments?
A wonderfully quick car with the third gear perfect for overtaking. The car handles well as a motorway cruiser or as an aggressive sports car on a twisty road. The brakes are very good and the safety features makes this a logical family car to purchase.
This premium car with its climate control and deluxe leather seats is let down by a cheap (4 speaker) stereo system. Saab needs to address this minor issue if this car is to compete in the premium sector.
