2001 SAAB 9-3 review from North America
"The car is junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My turbocharger went bad at 68,000 thousand miles. GM refused to pick up the cost of repair; it was 1,900 dollars.
Bad customer service from General Motors. I will never buy another SAAB again. One of the worst cars I could ever own.
