2003 SAAB 9-3 Aero review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong yet.

General comments?

Pros: Good power, nice handling, attractive exterior styling.

Cons: Poor support from seats; they are uncomfortable and the source of fatigue on long drives. Head rests are enormously irritating.

Poor driver ergonomics.

Interior plastic surfaces look like a "Samsonite" suitcase. Quality of materials is far below that found in BMW or Audi.
