2005 Saab 9-3 consumer reviews

Good car. Nice interior design. Safest in class. Good concept to have turbo 4 cylinder. Plenty of acceleration and still 27 mpg combined for 13 year old car.

Amazing ride, plenty of power. Turbocharged engine got great MPG and didn't have a problem passing anyone. Great looking car, especially in black. Wish I never got rid of her!

I love my car. It's a Saab, so it's not cheap to fix, but then again, it's a Saab. It's comfortable and fun to drive and not too bad on gas. I get about 31 highway, 28 mixed driving. Since it's old, some things have gone out or broken. Seems some engine components could have held together better, but I'm not sure what the previous owner did/didn't do. Radio controls take some getting used to, but that's okay. The sound is extremely good for factory everything. Very quick and zippy car.

Fantastic vehicle, luxurious drive and feel, while also being affordable both on gas and insurance. Perfect for a low budget college student or high school student. This is my second car and I adore everything about it! It has a lot of get up and go, but also rides VERY smoothly.

Interior was not in the best condition. The site lines were limiting for a young driver. Engine was strong but the quality of the car was not worth the $3000 asking price. Recommend if you are looking to have a project car.

I bought this vehicle because I totaled my previous car & rushed into buying it. While it runs great, there are just too many little bugs, electrical & mechanical, that prevented it from being a joy to drive.

Good car haven't had a lot of problems it's worth buying and is great on gas feels nice to drive the sound system the car comes with is actually great you can hear music clear

Bought an '05 9-3 Aero with a 5-speed and this car is fun, fast, comfortable, economical and most important a 5-star safety rating. This is my 8th Saab and my first was a '72 99E which I totaled with a girlfriend wearing no seat belts. The Saab safety features saved our lives. We are no married and she drives a '09 9-5 and my son drives my previous car an '02 9-5 Aero. These cars for the $$$ cannot be beat if you buy it right. This one had 35k miles and today it has 40k and since owning it I have had zero problems. Surprisingly quick and stops on a dime with large vented disc brakes on all 4 wheels. Simple controls and have taken two 400 miles trips and getting out of the car after a long drive is no problems. Seats are so comfortable! Buy it right and you will love it.

Although, the Saab corporation has gone out of business. There are a few shop and dealers where you can purchase part and obtain good service. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone look for a great value and excellent luxury.

I purchased my Saab 93 two months ago and so far am extremely pleased. No problems and I'm getting great gas mileage.( it does burn premium ) My car was in good shape outside and like new on the inside. The stereo radio could be better, and because its a Saab there isn't a aftermarket fix. Overall I'm very happy with my choice.
