2008 Saab 9-3 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by jasheek
Member5464
Exterior styling
Unique styling that is not ostentatious. Great lines.
Powertrain performance
Good power once the turbo starts to rev up.
Fuel economy
Very good considering the power. I average 32mpg doing mostly highway. I cruise at 75mph and like to rev the engine in the city.
Handling
Didn't expect this car to handle so well. Have had VW GTI, BMW 330ci, Acura RSX, and this car just as good.
Front seat support & comfort
Great seats. Very supportive of back and upper thighs. Don't have tightness in shoulders and neck anymore on long drives.
Depreciation
Poor retention of value. In 4 yrs car is worth 25-30% of its original cost. No demand for used Saabs
Materials & workmanship
Most of the workmanship good, but some cheap touches in cabin
