1999 SAAB 9-3 from North America - Comments

"A safe, utilitarian, luxurious, sporty, good looking, price effective sanctuary"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, except the a/c read out is kind of funky.

General comments?

The car is so fast that it is hard to believe that there is only a 2.0 liter V4 under the hood. With the sport drive, the automatic transmission is as peppy as any manual. The car also handles better than a new BMW 330CI that I recently drove, and my 9-3 has 100,000 miles! There is no other car on earth that can match my Saab's performance, utility, safety and price! If you are considering a Saab versus any other car, go with the Saab! You will be so happy, believe me!

I've owned my 99,9-3 5 door now for two yrs.. at frist I wasn't sure that I was driving a saab as this was my 2ed Saab that I've owned, frist being a 1988 900 turbo 3 speed. now I know why I stayed with Saab, this car has everything I want in a car speed, a great feel, good handling just for starters, for all the nae sayers out there, my job requires me to drive many different cars, at the end of the day it's a joy getting in my 1999 9-3 with 55.000 mis on it.

I agree!

I have a 900 for 5 years (152000 miles) and it still feels like a new car. Its fast, comfortable, safe, reliable, and nice to drive. The boot will take up to 5 large bags of stuff (e.g. 5 x 50K bags of Coal - wouldn't recommend this every day though) It looks great...

Its cost me a few grand in maintenance over the years, It even let me down once (fuel pump just stopped).

But nobody is perfect.

Its just a great car

a.n. other 900 driver.
