1999 SAAB 9-3 review from North America
"A safe, utilitarian, luxurious, sporty, good looking, price effective sanctuary"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, except the a/c read out is kind of funky.
General comments?
The car is so fast that it is hard to believe that there is only a 2.0 liter V4 under the hood. With the sport drive, the automatic transmission is as peppy as any manual. The car also handles better than a new BMW 330CI that I recently drove, and my 9-3 has 100,000 miles! There is no other car on earth that can match my Saab's performance, utility, safety and price! If you are considering a Saab versus any other car, go with the Saab! You will be so happy, believe me!
