excellent car reputation for safety see full Saab 9-3 review |
2008 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 180hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
The history and the underdog mentality. Also the brand is unique in getting good design and performance in one package. The SAAB brand known for there engineering of new technology, and will see more of that nowadays I guess. see full Saab 9-3 review |

Saab is different and independent, I know it was part of GM in this model year but they are still made by Swedes and have the Swedish touch. see full Saab 9-3 review |

Only a concern when you play the 4 year new car shuffle, not feasible anymore on these cars! Again, if you're stressed out by your coworkers/neighbor's opinion of your car, a SAAB is not the best for you. Unless he/she has one? see full Saab 9-3 review |

I had never known Saab until the moment I saw a black 93 stationwagon in a used car lot. I started my research, by that time Saab was already bankrupted so that Saabs are cheap to buy but expensive to own. I did my pros and cons and decided to went for it. This isa very special car, very handsomely styled and very, very cool! see full Saab 9-3 review |
2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Great design inside and out. Reliability sems to be going up with Spyker. I purchased my 2006 with resaerch that the 2002 to 2004 were very troubled years. Bumper to bumper warranty better than BMW. see full Saab 9-3 review |

2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Kia and Hyundai deservedly are darlings of the car industry now. But even in 2010, Kia still was shedding their old "I could not afford a Japanese car" image. It was one of my biggest reservations about buying. Their image keeps on improving. see full Kia Soul review |

I bought the car for the car, and not for the brand. When I bought my Honda Fit, part of that was because of the Honda brand. see full Kia Soul review |
