2002 Saab 9-3 User Reviews

A Performance Car That's Practical — I have to say this is probably the best car I've bought new. In just under 90k miles very little about it has been bad. Even though its super sweet turbocharged engine launches it 0-60 faster than some Porsche and BMWs, it gets mid 20 mpg average economy or better, had a 5 star safety rating long before that was a selling point, and can haul more stuff than some station wagons. I've spent under $2k in out of warranty repairs and upgrades to this car so far and it has only left me stranded twice after driving cross country 3 times. Better in the snow than my 4wd Trooper, faster than most soul-less japanese boy cars, and that quirky Scandanavian style.

Gm's Best Foreign Counterpart — The performance on my Saab is awesome especially with the built-in turbocharger (thank you Sweden). Car has a little over 40,000 miles on the odometer but doesn't feel like its been used at all. If you don't know the 2002 model was the last year Saab made a hatchback and then the 2003's were all 4 door sedans which reduced some of its beauty but made up for it in power and handling.My Saab gives 30 mpg on the highway and approximately 20-25 in the city depending on driving conditions, including an important factor traffic. This car is definitely fun to drive I took it to Florida and the ride was just amazing with the take off on this piece of swedish machinery.

It Is A Sporty 4 Door Car With A Large Heart — Ask me, and I'll tell you that I love it it took a year to find it and no I'm not selling also we are total Chevy fans so in a word it fits!

Been A Saab Owner Since My First 900s New In 1984 — 2.3 4cyl has great petrol milage (28-30 MPG combined Hwy city) and power to pass 230 unmodified HPwith 258 lb/ft torque. The Viggen badging has recieved thumbs up from motorcyclist and others. I drive 80 miles R/T to and from work daily no problems and shift effortlessly. 60 - 0 in about 125 ft.

02 Saab 9-3 Under Rated And Forgotten — Dislike-Rear twist beam suspension Like- Power and weight One of the best cars out there, station wagon cargo area and a sport hatch to hide it. Saab needs to bring back the 9-3 hatch, it's perfect if you don't want a wagon but want the cargo room. Once the Konis were installed the car became a totally different creature. This car will surprise you.
