2003 SAAB 9-3 linear review from North America
"Good but expensive to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Love the car handling and safety, however SAAB airconditioning compressors are the worse I have dealt with, Lost one in a 95 last year, daughter totaled car, bought this 93, pretty car love its performance and handling, however just blew that compressor, 2 in 2 years on different saabs. SAAB take note, have a 91 geo ins car with over 200K aircondition will freeze you out, also have a 1991 camaro, 2001 dodge pick-up and 03 infinity no airco problems,
General comments?
Great car if you do not need airco.
