2003 SAAB 9-3 ARC review from North America

"The perfect mix of performance and luxury"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I replaced the brakes, both front and rear pads and rotors, new spark plugs, and new oil. But I knew it needed relacing because that is what you GET with a used car... So many people have a hard time with that concept, they think everything is going to be perfect with the car. Well it's used things needed to be replaced after awhile. The ESP light was on when I bought it, was going to go to the dealer, but I decided to investigate it myself. WELL guess what, there was a fuse missing, solved the whole problem, yup, it was that easy people who write bad reviews. I love this car and I would definitely buy another regardless of what bad review writers say about it, I also don't think they should hate the car because their local dealership stole their money. (deal with it and move on)

General comments?

I love my car better then any bimmer I have driven, and my room mate owns a 2001 325i which is a pile of crap, I told him to get a saab, but he didn't listen, I even smoke him racing, and handling. HAH!
