2010 Saab 9-3 consumer reviews

I bought my car with approximately 30,000 miles on it. Since then, the only work I've had to do is routine maintenance and tire changes. It gets great gas mileage, and the paddle shifters are a lot of fun. I use sport mode for highway driving, which gives the car good pickup. Very happy overall.

This is a great little convertible. Has the feel of a top of the line sports car - no not a 911, more like a Lexus SC with a little more room.!

Very quick and reliable. Viggen wheels. Top down and wind screen up = fabulous experience. At 128k miles now and cant foresee selling it

I've had a few Saabs in my lifetime. Since 1978 model.That horn..has it unique Saab sound! The Road safety is amazing and Car Insurance * is much lower because of the awesome safety features. The car also has a Unibody framework!! Like steal... I was a victim of a hit and run years ago ,while my infant and toddler was in car and we were safe , However, the car that hit us was left in pieces literally . I especially admire the luxurious style of Saabs and ease of the Convertibles. No struggling to open or lock it automatically opens and secures. Turbo !!This car is Awesome!!! Theft is rare or impossible. As the car ages it just continue to drive...the computer system is always working to make adjustments if somethings acts up. . the car will make it through any road trip or hazzard. Moreover, the mileage can exceed high into 200K ,as well. Super Sweet!! I'll always , have one locked away!! Even though it will nickel and dime you on repairs & parts but worth it. One of My favorite reliable- sports car.

This car drove and responded well. Aesthetics left a little to be desired, performance was awesome! I would purchase another if Saab began making later models for US customers. I gave mine to my sin and daughter in law, who eventually wrecked it. Gas mileage was phenomenal. On hindsight, perhaps I should have kept it. The Volvo I replaced it with, while having the safety features I desired, could not compare in terms of response.

I own a 2010 Saab 93 - was able to grab it brand new just before they stopped making them and I'm sure glad I did. This has been the most reliable, fun, solid car I ever drove. I've had Infinity, Audi, BMW, Toyota & Nissans but this one. I thought I would only own it a few years, but I'm in my 7th year and had absolutely no problems with it. I use full synthetic oil every 5k miles and did a major maintenance at 70K and like I said NO ISSUES! As much as I would like to buy a new car now, I can't part with this one because I would love to see how far I can take it - I heard 200K is no problem! but...I don't want to start throwing money into it because my mechanic tells me I won't be happy at the repair costs. Any thoughts??

Love my car. I've been looking for just the right replacement for my 1996 Saab 900SE convertible and was sadly disappointed in everything else. Thanks to Barry Rocha and his team up in Northboro, MA I now have the car I've been waiting for. LOVE IT.

For me, the turbo-charged Saab 9-3 Sport Combi is the ideal vehicle when it come to utility, economy, performance, value, safety and just plain fun. I haul dogs and sporting equipment, so I need a wagon. But, I want to blow off Hemi's at stop lights and on the open road when I need to. The car is fun to drive and that is what I want.

I acquired my 2010 Saab 9-3 Aero XWD with 3,500 miles on it. I was able to get it for a song, much less than the MSRP on this vehicle was is north of $38K. That means you can get a fantastic european road car for less than the price of a Hyundai. While keeping in mind how huge of a plus that is, here are some other ones: beautiful exterior styling, comfortable and simple/intuitive interior, XWD has you sticking to the road like a slot car in inclement weather, good gas mileage (I get about 24-27 mpg), Aero pkg has a lot of nice upgrades (Bose sound system, side mirror that points down to help you parallel park, LED head lamps that move when you turn the car, ground effects that look extremely sharp without being too close to the ground, etc.), truly impressive passing power on the highway, superb handling, gearbox and clutch have excellent feel, very safe automobile cons (and I really have to reach here): turning radius is wider than you would expect on this vehicle, back seats have limited leg room, Aero sport suspension rides a little rough at times if you live an area that has terrible roads like I do, requires premium fuel on account of turbocharger (though every car in this class probably does), car is a little slow off the line in 1st/2nd gear, there is no warranty due to Saab's liquidation (though there will be continued parts availability as Saab Parts North America is still a going concern). For what it's worth, I have had this car for a year and have not had a single problem. In summation, this car is practically a steal at these prices. If you are looking at this car, you are also probably considering BMW and Audi, and you'll quickly find that those makes are MUCH more expensive, everyone in town has one, and for what they offer over the Saab (if anything) it is not at all worth the additional cost. I would pick one of these up before they are all gone

I love this car...It is the most fun to drive that I have ever had. It has power, comfort, handling, style, sound system, features including rain-sensing wipers, Home-link, Bluetooth phone, and Onstar and power sun roof. I get 22-26 mpg. The only thing I really don't like is the turning radius. I have only done oil changes at 17K miles. Consumers Reports suggest the car will be very reliable. I wish I had bought a manual transmission.
