1999 SAAB 9-3 review from North America
"Will not buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler rot at 40,000 miles - $650.00
DI cassette replaced at 70,000 - $600.00
ABS/speed sensor module needs to be replaced at 74,000 - $2000.00.
General comments?
Car is fun to drive, quick and handles good.
Car is good on gas mileage
However, the car is not a quite ride, you can hear all road noise. Seats are not comfortable on a long drive.
The most expensive parts to replaced went out before 80,000 miles.
DI cassette 600.00
ABS/speed sensor module 2000.00
Muffler replaced 650.00
Problems with warning lights check engine, asb, brakes keep coming on. Even though after having checked by dealer no problems found???
