2005 SAAB 9-3 Aero review from North America
"A very nice machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing mechanical has gone wrong with the car. I'm very pleased.
General comments?
My old Gs300 was a good car up until 2004 when it occasionally stalled while at a stop. The Lexus had about 75,000 miles on the odo when in began having issues. At about 80,000 miles I was sick of the car and traded it in for the Saab. I love this Saab. It has the most comfortable seats for long distance cruising. With my new job I basically live in my car. This saab is much faster than my old GS300 but it is slightly noiser on the inside. I don't mind it though. The stereo is great and I feel very safe in it. The car feels solid and holds the road very well. I would recommend this car to anybody.
