  Saab 9-3 SE - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By Terry Williams - January 12 - 2:00 am

  Ive already clocked over 6000 miles but it hardly feels like Ive done a thousand. I have had so much fun driving this car, more than any other Ive owned. For Quality,Comfort, performance, Value for money and individuality, there isnt a car that Ive seen or driven lately that can beat it...Love IT, best thing I have ever bought.

  Viggen, a classic sleeper car - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By VIGGEN LOVER - July 29 - 5:13 am

  Amazing car. Engineered like no other. Find a good honest mechanic and you will be fine. Avoid GM like the plague. Use resources for parts and advice and learn to turn a wrench. In no time you will know more about your car than the harried GM mechanics who mistake it for a Sunfire. A few mods and PRESTO! you have a 400 hp fire breathing monster. In my experience, this is an incredibly well thought out car which is engineered like no other.

  Viggen - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By From BMW to SAAB - March 2 - 10:00 am

  This is my forst SAAB after driving several BMWs (All 3 series). The viggen shows a far better built an finish than the BMW. Viggen however, is not as tamed as the BMW. It requires driver attention. This car can deliver a lots of performance - but make sure that your driving is also up to the task. +

  Shes my Saababy - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By AT Hiker - February 17 - 7:36 am

  Shes so sweet ... shes so fine ... and Im glad that she is mine! I had a 1995 Saab SE Turbo convertible that I loved so much that when she started to get "long in the tooth" I traded her in on this newer version. Fast! Fun! Luxurious yet has a true sports car feel! Unbelievable gas mileage (30s on the highway) and I constantly get comments from old and young alike, "Nice car"! She is everything a summer car should be.

  My 1st 4-door - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By Cheryl763 - January 29 - 2:00 am

  Having to give up my 2-door sport vehicle and buy a 4-door family sedan for the first time, we looked at upscale sedans. I drove the Saab last & loved it. The seats are comfortable & the trunk space roomy. The car has nimble handling & a pleasure to drive. I opted for the manual tranmission & premium package. The turbo engine makes up for the VTEC engine that I had. The visability is great, as there are limited blind spots. Having the ignition in the floor is odd, but it is a neat feature. Other then that, the car is truly a dream to drive and own! Guilford Saab is a great dealer, highly recommend both them and the car.

  She keeps on going and going... - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By wb - January 28 - 4:43 am

  I have 75,000 miles on my 2002 Saab and the past 20,000 have been the most exciting... with the stainless steel exhaust system, K&N filter and chip for the engine, my Saab is as fast as anything that Ive driven, and she gets 35 mpg almost all of the time. Drop her into second and floor it? Woosh!

  Saabs the one - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By driver dave - January 18 - 10:00 am

  Leased a saab 9-3 in August and I am extremely pleased with the price and performance. My previous vehicle was a BMW 740i which was flawless. However, performance was delivered with a premium price. The saab gives top performance at a reasonable price (especially with the rebate). As you would expect, the ride is not comparable (comfort wise)however, the saab is not in the same social class. Love the saab, highly recommend it.

  My Saab 9-3 - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By mbest - December 4 - 8:43 am

  If you want a car thats fun to drive, nimble and responsive this is a great car. If you need to have a large interior with room to move around, it isnt for you. I guess you have to sacrifice something for the fun. Once you get used to it, you may never want to drive anything else.

  A New Saab Owner - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By specan48 - September 18 - 10:00 am

  When I decided to get an entry level luxury sedan, I looked at several vehicles, including BMW and Volvo. I chose the Saab just because of the test drive. If you are at all waivering on what type of car and the Saab is a little out of your price range, dont test drive it. Youll have to leave with it, whether you can afford it or not! Im surprised at its speed with so little horsepower.
