2002 SAAB 9-3 4 DR SE review from North America
"Like the company says, "A state of Independence""
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Brakes went bad around 30,000 miles because I'm just hard on my brakes. Replaced them with ceramic brakes and they are better than ever. There is no brake dust and they are suppose to last longer than the average brakes.
Connection to Starter motor came loose and caused car to suddenly not start one day, minor tighten of screw however at the dealership for $40.
General comments?
The car is really reliable and I love it! It's a great looking car inside and out and if you're a SAAB enthusiast or not, it'll catch your attention as being different. All SAAB owners love there car for just being safe and different from the other cars on the block. I've had little problems with my car and they were minor or wear and tear problems. If your in the market for a new or used car, definitely stop by your local Saab Dealer, you won't be let down!
