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 Ride! - 2007 Saab 9-3
By Debbie Swanson - March 27 - 3:03 amSaab is one of the most comfortable, safe and fun to drive convertibles. There is none to compare to it! Born from jets is its mantra and its easy to see why - you take off and you feel like youre piloting a jet! Whats even better? Saab owners are a class all to themselves, and we belong to an elite club - were "different" and "unique!" Come drive a Saab and youll never go back to those spin off versions of convertibles. Saab is superior - by far.

Saab 9-3turbo, 60th anniversary edition - 2007 Saab 9-3
By waltzsaab - February 20 - 6:23 amAn absolute joy to drive. Comfortable, quiet, and accelerates like a rocket! I Bought this car new and have driven it for two years and 25000 miles. It has been one of my best overall vehicle purchases considering my 50 years of driving experience. I am large, 63 and can actually stretch out in the front seats whether driving or riding as passenger. Fold down rear seats offer great storage capacity to the trunk. Lots of interior room-considering that this is a smaller vehicle. Warranty service has been great. Original battery died and one of the fog driving lamps went out, but both were replaced under warranty. (Florida heat takes its toll on auto parts).

Sometimes I dont get Edmunds - 2007 Saab 9-3
By racebannon1 - November 26 - 11:37 pmListed con in Edmunds review: Suspension should be stiffer on Aero models, ride can be choppy over bumps... So you want a stiffer suspension so that you can complain about the ride being choppy over bumps? Okay, got it. My review: Ive owned this car for a few years & feel if ever there was a time to write a review its now. If I have but one complaint it is that the interior, while is nice overall, has components of it that just feel cheap. Acceleration, gas mileage & the quality of this vehicle make it a steal as a used car. Cargo room is awesome and the ease to fold down the rear seats is super handy.

A perfect, tasteful, delightful car. - 2007 Saab 9-3
By deathshot - November 11 - 8:20 amI honestly have no complaints about this car. It is powerful, fuel efficient, stylish, tasteful, sporty, and elegant. When you have a car as well-rounded as this, people often dig around for any little excuse to put her down. For instance, I see people bashing the interior or claiming that the handling isnt good enough. Thats a load. This cars interior is fantastic. It is practical, minimal, and elegant in true Swedish style. Saab was an uncompromising company with high standards and a progressive attitude. They simply didnt fit the mold of consumer sameness and that may have been their downfall. They made safe, fast cars with idiosyncratic personalities. They will be missed.

Smoking Aero 9-3 - 2007 Saab 9-3
By James Kanter - October 2 - 5:33 amI got this car because my wife picked it out for me. She loved the car and felt it was a great value. I wanted a convertible and hadnt thought of a Saab. I wanted a BMW, but it was too expensive. I started falling in love with this car when we saw it parked at the dealer. This car has done nothing but exceed my expectations in every way. It drives great. It has excellent stability, wonderful seats. The top comes down real fast. It look slick. I absolutely love the sound of the exhaust. Now I want another Saab! Im into Saabs.

Fun to Drive - 2007 Saab 9-3
By Perfect for me - August 17 - 5:06 amI purchased the 60th Anniversary edition which I preferred for its "fancy trim" package. I find the car to suit me well as it is small, yet seats four fairly comfortably, quick on its feet yet provides a nice MPG and its stylish without being pretentious.

Fun Saab - 2007 Saab 9-3
By Steve - July 7 - 4:10 pmI purchased a 9-3 anniversary model w/auto. If you are in the market for any type of car, compare it to a Saab. The car is fun to drive, feels very well built. Very, very quick. The anniversary package adds a lot of value. Compared this to a MB C230 and Lexus IS 250. It was no comparison when you compared fun to drive quotient, safety and price. What a fun great car!!!

Not Just Another Beemer - 2007 Saab 9-3
By TopDownDriver - March 17 - 10:20 pmThis is the one to have... the 2WD Aero Convertible. People often give this car a double take, but instead of looking at you like youre a snob, they smile. Saab makes one of the safest convertibles on the road. The Aero front seats are upgraded and really comfortable. The back seats are surprisingly deep, be sure to actually sit back there. I like the power the turbo Aero has available, but still get close to 30 mpg on the highway. If I keep my foot out of it. The car is a cross between cool and charming, and its different. Mines been reliable. Its a front- driver, so a Beemer will handle better on a racetrack, but I prefer front drive stability in the real worlds rain or snow.

Saabalicious - 2007 Saab 9-3
By Vincent - February 1 - 9:03 pmWhat can I say. I have been after this car for a while, but being educated, I waited a bit to make sure it is at its peak for the particular model. Best car I have ever owned, even over its German counterparts. Will continue to own Saabs as long as I am alive.
