This Year's Model Updates:

A new in-dash DVD-based navigation system is added to the options list. The 9-3 convertible is now available in entry-level Linear trim.

Pros:
  • Handles well for a front-drive car, frugal yet powerful engines, generous passenger room, class-leading trunk space.
Cons:
  • Suspension should be stiffer on Aero models, ride can be harsh over bumps, interiors lack upscale look and feel, weak stereos.

  • The car to buy - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    I have test driven the acura tl, bmw 3 series, infiniti g35 no room in this car, and I traded my problem riddled mercedes 320 to buy a real car. I feel this is the best looking car on the market for the price and you get the performance to go along with it. The interior of the car is very modern looking and very ergornomically friendly. I freguently go on long road trips and this is by far the most comfortable car I have ever driven. I dont even need to say this but the safety is unmatched by any other car manufacturer including the parent company GM.

  • Finally Did It - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    I hesitated to spend so much money for this car but my dealer made it easy with a great lease and, of course, the GM Discount. This car is much better than my old 9-3 even without the hatch back. I dont even miss it. My new Arc has a quality look and feel and power when I need it. And it is a head turner with its Chili Red metallic paint, parchment interior and the 17" wheel option. I should have done this sooner. I look for any excuse to get out and drive it.

  • More bang for your buck - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    After one year I still in love with this car. Quick,stylish,secure and handsome. The only thing that bothers me. The navigation system is available now and last year that was not an option.

  • Better than expected - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    I purchased this car used with 45,000 miles on it and 6 mos. left on the factory warranty. The car has been great, looks and runs like a brand new car with no problems. It was a one owner car that I purchased from the original selling dealer.

  • Fun & isnt a "Break My Wallet" clone - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    My SAAB 9-3 Aero is an exciting turbo- charged sport sedan I find appealing since I enjoy cars that are more unique & exciting than just one of a bland flurry of Euro-Japanese yuppie BMW-clones. The 9-3 Aero carries-forth the SAAB tradition of providing many unique but valued features that the others havent copied...yet...such as an instrument panel "Blackout" button, 4- wheel steering, an ignition lock between the front seats that also serves to lock both the break & gearshift levers, self-leveling xenon headlights and other subtle but cool features.

  • Another Saab - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    This is the second Saab Ive owned. Once you own one of these things you will never let go. Everyone who sits in it is blown away. Id take it in a heart beat over all of its competitors, 300c, Audi A4, Volvo s40, this car is way more fun to drive than anything else out there. Until my first time driving this car I had never seen a smile on someones face from driving, or riding in a car before. Now I grin every time I sit in my car, and so does everyone else, literally.

  • Wonderful car - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    Beautiful, fun to drive, excellent acceleration, handles very well. Great stereo. Surely the most beautiful of the 4-seater convertibles. Excellent safety ratings. Stands out from the dime-a-dozen convertibles out there.

  • SAAB 93 - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    Excellent car and fun to drive, you really stand out from the crowd in this car.

  • My First Convertible - 2005 Saab 9-3
    By -

    Briefly, this is a well-built car with a great fit and finish. The trunk will hold 2 golf bags with the top up and 4 passengers comfortably. Along with its 5 star safety rating, convenient controls and good looks, what else would you want in a convertible?
