1998 SAAB 9-3 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Great value armchair on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Saab Information Display pixels do not display correctly (this seems to be a common problem and is easily fixed with a new unit).
Alarm can act up in damp weather.
General comments?
Comfort is the key with this car. Big supportive seats that work very well for tall drivers (I am 6' 5").
The car is very quiet too and as a second hand buy at about 6 years old represents fantastic value for money.
However... performance on the standard non-turbo version is pretty sluggish.
If you can find/afford a good LPT version or even the 2.3 I would suggest this is a better bet.
