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.

  V6 Turbo Power - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Pete - April 8 - 8:13 pm

  My first Saab. I looked at BMW, MB, Audi but purchased the Aero because it was better priced, less "common," and the performance is equivalent (especially with the V6). Excellent dealership service, very few issues over the past 18 months (defective battery shorted), and it turns head in the dark Fusion Blue. Glad to see Saab has been purchased and will continue on!

  New and Improved - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By bradleydallas - January 5 - 9:16 pm

  I traded my 03 9-3 in for an 07 a couple of months ago and find the new car to be greatly refined over the 03. While the 03 was fun to drive, it was lacking in build quality and refinement compared to its competition. Not so with the 07. Saab has really done its job to make this a fine car. Everything about the car has a quality feel. I bought the 60th anniversary pkg; what a great deal.

  Disappointing - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By ebeth05 - November 20 - 8:53 am

  Purchased a 9-3 60th anniversary edition with high hopes for my first car. Loved the anniversary package, very happy about my first ever car purchase. Now Im disappointed. The first week of driving I noticed a steering wheel vibration - a nuisance at low speeds, a violent shake at higher ones, not relenting when again at lower mph. After one week I took it shopping: took me five tries to get it to start; it turned on, then the engine shut off on the first four. I have taken it to two different dealerships to have the problems looked at with the frequent response "problem cannot be duplicated." Tires have been balanced twice, vibrations still exist.

  Very Pleased. I love this car - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By futureray - September 29 - 4:36 pm

  Purchased this vehicle over a month ago. I had already done my homework and found the Saab Sportcombi was a great all around vehicle, and found one for less than a used 2007 Altima with standard features. Vehicle can be driven fast and fun, or more conservative, or like myself in something in between. With an automatic, I get 32 MPG on the highway, 26-27 in mixed driving, and 23 city that is great for a car that gives a nice ride, luxury appointments, and room to spare. One of my consideration was room for four, including 2 kids, 9 and 16. We all ride comfortably, I do have to give up a little legroom, as I am 6-2" but still find it comfortable.

  Fabulous car - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By portland - July 28 - 4:40 pm

  We looked at just about every sport wagon on the market and the sportcombi was head and shoulders above the rest in performance, features, and safety. Its also one of the few with an available manual transmission (and a 6-speed to boot). We can even fit two kids and a new baby in the back seat. Weve only had the Saab for ten days but its easily our favorite car ever.

  NICE car - in love, no plans to ever sell her - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By jonnyb433 - July 25 - 11:27 am

  Bought new, 60th anniversary, ice blue met, roof rack & spoiler, 17" wheels, automatic, anniv leather. Now just over 50k miles on her (in storage for a while), never happier with her. She has plenty of power, gets decent mileage 23-24 mpg ave. Repl some bulbs (not incredibly easy to replace) and change oil ($100 or so once per year, mobil1 synth), thats really about it. Only maintenance weve had was a set of rear brakes & rotors - pads burned straight through at about 20k miles, warranty refused, generally pretty pissed about that cause theres no way rears should wear that fast! My second Saab, and just bought the third, a low-mileage 2011 9-5.

  60th Anniversary package rocks - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By 1st Saab - May 8 - 6:53 am

  Had the car for almost 2 years. Really been nothing but a pleasure from day one. This is the car I should have bought 10 years ago, though it wasnt available ten years ago. Bose stereo is wonderful. Ride and performance are really nice. Punching the gas every once in a while is a blast. Road noise is not nearly as bad as my former Subaru. Interior design is lovely though there is too much hard, sort-of-cheap-feeling plastic. Rear fold-down seats really create a humongous hatchback-like cargo area. Dealer has been great. The warranty and maintenance are really top notch. Newer models dont have as long of a warranty. Roof rack bars look awesome.

  Fun to Drive, Yet Sophisticated - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By bluehorseshoe313 - April 26 - 6:46 pm

  I have a 2.0T 60th Anniversary with an auto trans. The auto has some turbo lag off the line, but the "passing gear" is great. Overall the car looks great and is fun to drive. At 64" I have just enough head room, but could use a little more. The Bose audio system sounds good, but the head unit controls are a little confusing to get used to.

  A GREAT underappreciated Convertible - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Taylor - March 30 - 6:10 pm

  A fun, unusual car that stands out from the crowd! Ultracomfortable car looks superb in White with beige leather trim, reliable with good gas mileage, this is an under appreciated car that actually has a usable back seat compared to any others in its class, dealerships are few and far between, they have a good track record for looks, reliability and insurance, I am a very particular owner, have had many cars but this one is way and above the best in all areas, many safety features, security is good for a rag top, would trust it to take me anywhere, more importantly I trust the car with precious cargo, my wife, she gets a kick from driving it and has never failed us. Advice, buy a used one as you save money!
