2003 SAAB 9-3 Vector review from UK and Ireland
"Where economy meets style, handling and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Remote Central Locking Battery & Blue tooth software malfunction - quickly rectified with updated download.
General comments?
Beautiful looking car, specially with the vector body kit, also cabin is truly unique and ergonomics are a joy.
Only bug bear is the mobile phone bracket inconveniently placed at the height of passenger's right-hand knee.
And no, its not a tarted Vauxhall Vectra, it's a diesel with mind blowing torque. Easily out accelerate most cars on the road from 40 - 80 mph in Fifth gear!
