2003 Saab 9-3 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by abit667

Price or payments

Prices are quite low in the used market, cars towards the beginning of the generation (2003,2004) can be had much cheaper than expected, especially through dealers just looking to get rid of them.

Exterior styling

Has a mature sophisticated look, not too flashy.

Fuel economy

Can do low 30s on the highway and mid-upper 20s around town.

Reliability & durability

This probably has more to do with reputation, however there are a lot of reports of problems with these cars.

Materials & workmanship

Fit and finish of the interior plastics feels cheap.

Brand reputation & image

Reputation for costly repairs and unreliability.
