Saab's 9-3 Sport-Combi has a short history. It is only in its third year, having debuted as a 2006 model.
The Euro-luxury wagon fills the slot for a roomier yet not overwhelming well-handling car with increased utility. It also indulges Saab-lovers' wish to raise a hatch, as was once the norm for each and every Saab product before the sedan styling was introduced. More importantly, it provides a wonderful option for those who want more function without additional height.
Like the other models that bear the 9-3 name, the junior Sport-Combi comes in two trims denoted by engine: the 2.0T with its four-cylinder powerplant and the Aero, which features a turbocharged V6. It also naturally features the jet-inspired cockpit and other elements that lend to Saab's aeronautic beginnings, the most evident of which is its overall aerodynamic design.
Saab did no skimping on safety equipment or comfort amenities. The list of standard equipment includes all types of airbags, the latest technology in vehicle control, leather seating, and automatic dual climate control.
