1999 SAAB 9-3 SE review from Belgium
"Amazing performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is as good as on day one when I bought it and it feels as tightly packed as when it left factory.
General comments?
This is an incredible combination of practicality, economy and performance. The car can haul the sink while returning 8.5lt/100km. Above 3500 revs the car transforms itself to a modest sports car. Reliability is pretty good too.
Too bad that the current 9-3 is lagging so far behind this original Swedish design!
