Saab 9-3 Hatchback 2.3i SE 5d (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A good second-hand buy - especially compared with Audi, BMW, etc.
Costs
Service at main dealer expensive - day to day running costs ok.
-
On the road
Driving
Smooth motorway driving - not as involving as I hoped.
Performance
Probably quicker than it actually feels. Front wheel spin can be tiresome.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No time off-road - only problem engine check light occasionally appears.
Image
Has a cool, assured air about it - the Sven Goran-Eriksson of cars.
Comfort
Quiet, comfortable cabin and well-equipped. Legroom a bit tight in back and not enough room to put things!
-
Security and Service
Security
On a couple of occasions has been unlocked when I've sworn I've locked it, but I think this is down to the early onset of senility.
Service
Service was faultless, but you get what you pay for I suppose.
