Not Really Trying To Keep Up With The Competition... And Succeeding.

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: The 9-3 is an emotional choice, not a logical one, as its dynamics aren't as good as a 3-Series' or C-Class'. For some buyers, though, it's probably close enough.
Review: My Experience

2006 has been quite a year for new car releases. With all the revised and redesigned models hitting the market at once, I haven't been able to drive half the new vehicles I'd like to. The Saab 9-3 Aero, though, is one that...

Two more cylinders and a lower price--time for a 9-3?

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: A thoroughly reasonable premium compact, but passion is lacking. Saab needs a new Viggen.
Review: For 2006 the Saab 9-3 received a wagon variant and a new engine for the top-of-the-line Aero, a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 good for 250 horsepower. I've been wanting to sample the new Aero wagon--SportCombi in Saab-speak--with a manual transmission...

An affordable, sporting and appealing alternative "sport sedan"

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great performance/near-luxury sports sedan at a very competitive price. It has a few quirks, but those that appreciate good design and practicality along with fun will have a blast!
Review: I should start off by clarifying. I own a 2005 model Saab 9-3 "Linear" 2.0t Sport Sedan, and my father just purchased a 2006 9-3 Aero V6. This review will cover both vehicles. Also, for some strange reason (probably GM's positioning of Saab as a...

Okay car... lots of kick for the $

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great car for the money, maintenance coverage is great, lease payments low (especially for GM discount), good looking too!
Review: I have a bright red 9-3, five speed, loaded up with park assist, entertainment package, winter package & xenons.
I was contemplating a 325xi or C280 4matic when I was in the market for this car, but given that the pricing and included options...

Great alternative!

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: This car is as good as the Audi A4! What it lacks in interior quality it makes up for with its superior seats and the fantastic engine! Fresh, different look!
Review: I must say I really enjoyed both the look and feel of this car! It's exterior is a surprisingly pleasing mix of Italian-like lines and German-like robustness. In fact this is one of the most robust looking cars I've ever tested!

a very fast car

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Aero is a TREMENDOUS value.
Review: I've now logged over 5K miles on my 2006 9-3 Aero (V6 Turbo), and I have to say it's one of the most fun cars to drive that I've ever owned (Jag, BMW and VW's).

First thing I would recommend for any new owner do - sign up for the FREE Aero...

Love my Aero wagon!

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: I love this car and would buy another in a heartbeat.
Review: Awesome car, like a bat our of hell. I bought the 6 cylindar SportCombi Aero with the Sentronic 6-speed manual/auto transmission. Figured that was the only way to compensate for the CVS transmissions they all have now. Love everything about it. It...

2006 Saab 9-3 Aero - Very Satisfied

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: Love it - recommend it!
Review: Purchased the 2006 9-3 Aero in March of 2006. So as of today, I've got 7 months of testing this car. Just had my 10,000 mile check up (free)- this is a 3 year lease. No major problems. All of the maintenance intervals to 50,000 miles came with the...

2006-2009 9-3 Aero, Unique Styling, Drive one and you'll buy one.

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: This car is a joy to drive and nice to own.
It's unique looks are timeless and turns heads.
Review: Background
I bought this vehicle brand new with the "Friends of GM" discount which ended up saving me almost $10k off the sticker with cash back.

First a little history of what we were looking at-
We wanted a four door sedan, but we...

9-3 SportCombi 2.0 is Best All Around Vehicle in its Class

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: If the social responsibility of size compromise is your thing, the comfort, performance, carrying space and efficiency of the 2.0 SportCombi is probably as good as it gets.
Review: The 2006 9-3 SportCombi (2.0 M5) is a dream machine probably the car Saab has always wanted to build. I ve owned many different model year Saab variants, and this one by far tops them all. As much as I loved my 2004 9-3 4-Door Aero A5, this new more...
