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.

  What a superb compact car! - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Dave - August 24 - 5:53 am

  I drive this car for business, and it is superb. Combined gas mileage (city and highway) is an average 28.6 mpg. Handling and performance are great. The car is tight and rattle free. It is NOT a BMW, but it didnt cost as much, either. Its also simpler to live with and better in the winter. It is definitely the best car SAAB has ever built.

  Best kept secret - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Robert - June 22 - 3:46 pm

  This by far the best quality car Ive owned so far, including my Acura. It gets amazing MPG (30 avg), great turbo performance. For the price I paid, I could not have bought a base Camry. Build quality is fantastic. This is the safest car (class) in America today, Saabs strong suit and heritage. Not a creak or rattle yet. Could you buy a better car? Probably, but at a substantial premium. This is my 2nd Saab in 4 years and reliability has been excellent. The fit and finish is right up there with Lexus. Absolutely zero torque steer. 40-70 acceleration is like a rocket. You really should consider this car. It is a most compelling value in this market space.

  Great Car - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Joel - June 5 - 8:56 pm

  I had a deposit on a pre-owned 2004 Volvo S60R and with the cash rebate ended up getting a 2007 60th Anniversary edition in Ice Blue Metallic for the same price. This is a great car for the money, it is a fun drive like everyone else says - very peppy and agile, also the six speed manual is very smooth. I am 63" and leg room is great, head room is just good enough as my hair sometime grazes the ceiling so if you are over 63 def make sure you have enough headroom with the sunroof. Overall extremely comfortable and very intuitive dash and stereo controls. I get many compliments on the cars lines and the spoiler on the 60th edition is a very nice touch.

  Unique and Economical - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By DanaS - April 15 - 12:26 am

  After owning a 2001 Saab 9-3, there were questions about getting a new Saab. The 2001 was solid, but dated. The car was designed in the early 1990s. The new 9-3 handles better, has many more features, better layout, more room and is far better quality. The doors, fenders and quarter panels have minimal gaps. The fit and finish is superior to the domestics or japanese. I compared a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and the 9-3. When comparably equipped, the Saab was cheaper. The Saab rode better and there wasnt a gazillion on the road. 31-34 MPG during mostly highway driving. GM should quit playing sticker games. It scares too many potential buyers away and affects published resale values. Its a good value when priced right.

  9.3 2.0T + - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Rip - March 20 - 1:16 pm

  I have owned this car for about a year. It has been all that was advertised by the dealer . .plus good milage (about 27 both C & HW combined). The only minor points I have are the headlights are set too low. On high beam, however, they are perfect. The stearing is also a bit " squirrelly", so you have to pay attention to your driving. Now, if only it had a little more kick!

  Absolutely awesome - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By NHsaabguy - December 27 - 1:36 pm

  I just bought this car about 4 days ago and I couldnt be more happy. I looked at a 328xi, the C280, and the A4. When I drove the 60th anniversary edition Saab 9-3, I was immediately impressed. Its curves and sporty styling cues gave it the edge in the styling department but what I enjoyed most was how it drove. I fell in love with the turbo power and torque that allows this car to launch, especially when you are already going 40+ mph.

  Great car at a great price - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By awjones - November 27 - 5:46 am

  This truly is a great car at a great price. Compared this vehicle to bmw 3 series, audi a4. There is no comparison. Great interior, very comfortable (Im 64", plenty of front legroom). Nice stereo, with xm, nicely designed console. The 2.0T provides a lot of pickup, especially at high speeds. Very smooth ride, handles well, good fuel economy (runs any grade fuel except racing), xenon headlights are great for night driving. Handles well in heavy rain. All kinds of goodies in this car.

  No Saab story - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By kirbster - August 8 - 4:46 am

  I purchased a new Saab 9-3 recently and all I can say is, why didnt I buy one of these along time ago. This car is everything it says it is and more. I drive 35 miles to and from work each day. At 75 mph, I get 34 mpg at 80 mph I get 32 mpg. I tried to do 70 mph but just couldnt, it was just too much fun going faster. The turbo acceleration is a blast. Going from 60 to 100 only takes about 5 seconds. As you can tell, Im in love with this car. Just drive one.

  Saab gets the 9-3 right. - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By ek900 - June 8 - 5:30 am

  When I drove a 9-3 Linear in 2003, I was very disappointed with what Saab had done to 900. I owned a 1998 900 S Turbo, and I felt it had many pluses over the new 9-3. Four years later, the changes to upgrade the model are startling, and I was sold. The new 6-speed is the best manual trans. Saab has ever had, and the driving dynamics are superior to my old 900 in every way. The car is buttoned down and feels smaller that it is. I also really like the interior, which theyve now made lighter and brighter. The best thing I can say is that I started shopping feeling that Id owned my last Saab, and after sampling the sub-$30,000 competition and the 9-3 2.0T, I fell in love with Saab again.
