Overview & Reviews
Saab is now under new ownership, but more important for consumers is the significant price drop for the 2010 Saab 9-3 sedan, convertible and wagon. Unfortunately, that price drop on the Aero models comes along with the elimination of last year's 280-horsepower V6 engine. New is the 9-3X SportCombi, a wagon model with a higher ride height, an electronic limited-slip differential and unique exterior trim.
- Underwhelming power and fuel economy, subpar cabin materials and build quality, tech features are missing or antiquated, tight rear seat, ride can get rough, still on the pricey side.

Good All-Around Sports Sedan - 2010 Saab 9-3
By jbrockwell - September 12 - 10:13 pmSomeone in review forum talking about future of the brand wrote that Saab should position itself as the $25K European sports sedan -- whether that is where the future is for Saab or not, I think it is a good way to position this model. It doesnt have a great interior compared to say an Audi A4 (my previous car), engine is not sublime, handling is OK (AWD helps considerably though I bought FWD version), brand cache is struggling and I will have to see on reliability. But after 2,000+ miles of driving, I have no major complaints. Its a good all around performer and if it doesnt quite excel in any obvious automotive review category, does enough to satisfy and bring the occasional smile.

Nice Car with great Incentives! - 2010 Saab 9-3
By jason60050 - September 19 - 2:00 amComing from a Lexus GS350 this is quite a difference. I love the way it handles and the XWD with the 6 speed auto is wonderful. I could not pass up the deal on this vehicle. Almost $12k off sticker. Despite what they say as this being an outdated car with not a lot to offer compared to the 3 series, A4, etc could not beat the price with this one.
