2005 SAAB 9-3 VECTOR SPORT review from UK and Ireland
"Looks amazing, handles well, delivers your driving expectations, but... feels cheap, quality lacking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers seat has "Sagged" already and developed a frustrating squeak!
(and I am not a heavy person)
Rattles from the Dashboard area.
General comments?
This car is only three Months old.
I truly am impressed with this cars looks, overall performance, levels of comfort and driver appeal, but this is where the praise stops!
The build quality is well below par, plastics used on the dash look and feel cheap, a new rattle appears from behind the dash every Week and road/wind noise are both excessive and intrusive for a car in this league and price.
The sound quality,even from the seven speaker upgrade on this model is dreadful, almost pathetic.
