Overview & Reviews

For 2007, the Saab 9-3's interior gets a redesign, with a restyled instrument panel and updated trim and chrome details. OnStar has been added to the options list, as have a couple of new wheel designs. Satellite radio is now standard on Aero models and optional on the 2.0T, and a Bose sound system is now available on all 9-3 sedans.

• Handles well for a front-drive car, frugal yet powerful engines, generous passenger room, class-leading trunk space in sedan models, excellent crash test scores.

• Suspension should be stiffer on Aero models, ride can be choppy over bumps, interiors lack upscale look and feel, turbo lag on V6 models.

  Underestimated - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By oyebon - May 2 - 7:18 am

  Bought this car with 22K miles and now have just over 100K. Overall the car provided great value for the money spent, under 20K. Over the span of 6 years, had to replace 1 crank shift sensor 300$, 1 power window 300$, and a brake line 200$; rotors with brakes with run 500$ for a pair. One dealership tried to con me out of a radiator for another 1K, so careful where you take it. But if you can find a reliable place that does good maintenance work, you are in for a pleasant daily commute.

  My New 9-3 - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Matt - March 25 - 7:53 pm

  Head and shoulders above my prior 2000 9-3. Looked at Audi A4, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat and Acura TSX. Saab prevailed on driving dynamics and styling. Upgraded stereo is excellent. The car is a tremendous value.

  Good value and great looks - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By JDR - March 8 - 6:20 am

  Love this car and its unique look. Best of all are the leather seats! Every single person that sits in this car says he never felt so comfortable. Long rides are a pleasure in this car. The road feel and handling is great. Highway gas mileage is more than acceptable!

  Fast car for Old Man - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By RBK9 - February 10 - 9:40 am

  I love this car! I have yet to see another one on the road. The titan grey color is perfect. The seats are more comfortable than my wifes Cad. STS. Nitpicks: There is an ever present yellow light that tells you whether the passenger side airbag is activated or not. Wish I could turn it off. There is a little bit of road noise, but this may be typical of wagons. I reduced the noise considerably by buying the optional cargo mat. I have been getting 21 mpg, but the low fuel light comes on after about 275 miles. Huge glove box! Terrific handling and acceleration. I have automatic (6 spd) with manual override. Shift with the paddles or with the shifter - its a blast! I highly recommend this car.

  Im in love - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By odie6789 - January 27 - 2:26 am

  Bought my first Saab, and I cant believe what I was missing! This machine just cruises. I keep jackets in the trunk so I can keep the top down, even when it gets cool out. After about 3 weeks though, I brought it back to the dealer and had him reprogram the computer to defeat the daytime running lights (betcha didnt know they could do that, huh?). Now, off means off and on means on when the vehicle is on. I was even brave enough to put a Bubba cup in the dash cup holder. One gripe, I am having issues with the car reporting bulb failures that arent there. Multiple trips to the dealer has not fixed this problem yet.

  Back to Saab - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Black Aero - December 24 - 3:53 am

  After owning 5 Saabs, GM ownership was the end of the line. We went to Audi with a TT and A4 Avant. After 10 years of frustration with Audi products I figured what do I have to lose. Big surprise this is the best Saab I have ever owned. I thought my 92 9000 Aero was a great car and this is better. I have not had it long enough to rate the reliability but when you take price into consideration this has become the favorite of a 5 car family.

  What a great car - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Scott Miller - December 6 - 11:46 am

  I have owned several European Cars and this one is my favorite. The car drives great. The service from my dealership is great. Theyve even come to my house to replace a battery when I left the door open overnight. This car is excellent on back roads and the highway. I especially enjoy the top down with the Wind Deflector in place. I get a lot of comments from people when Im driving. Overall, I couldnt be happier with my purchase. People say that GM has put too much into this car. I think GM has made some good refinements when it comes to overall quality and reliability. Ive owned 3 Saabs and this one by far is my favorite. Free service for 4 years. You just cant beat it.

  Buy with CPO - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By dgebler - November 10 - 11:20 am

  I bought a 2007 to get the car at half price w/ 3 years left on CPO warranty. The car has understated sportiness: it handles great for normal driving even if it wouldnt beat another car on a test track. Having the top down is great fun: easy to have conversations with the passenger.Its a car to take pride in and have fun with.

  Still Love It - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Sean D - October 5 - 7:26 am

  Its been a great car through 20K miles. Only complaint I had was when I tried to change the tire and there were caps on the lugs. The special tool was in the glove box. I had to call the dealer to figure this out. Other than that Ive really loved this car. Its the only car Ive planned to keep beyond two years... or at least until the warranty is up. Too bad Saab could end up being wiped out. Dealership has been superb. Ive been really impressed with the service. Car is very comfortable on long trips. I drove 2000+ miles in the span of a week and they were all a pleasure.
