2003 SAAB 9-3 Aero review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet.
General comments?
Pros: Good power, nice handling, attractive exterior styling.
Cons: Poor support from seats; they are uncomfortable and the source of fatigue on long drives. Head rests are enormously irritating.
Poor driver ergonomics.
Interior plastic surfaces look like a "Samsonite" suitcase. Quality of materials is far below that found in BMW or Audi.
