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.

  First Time Saab Owner - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Joe - December 6 - 6:53 pm

  Ive owned many types of vehicles over time and the Saab 9-3 Aero is hands down, the most enjoyable to drive. As of this writing, Ive owned it for four months with not a single problem. Its nice to know theres a good warranty just in case. Its also nice to drive a car thats not as common as my wifes Altima. Sometimes, I will see as many as 5 or 6 of the Altimas in one parking lot! Unlike many of your basic cars, the Saab Aero has character. Highly recommend the Saab Aero.

  Good Car - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By SAAB - December 1 - 9:43 pm

  The Saab performs well and has a look that never dies. The only problem with it is that it had small problems like the radio blacking out and small things. They seem to be extremely forgiving with the cars good looks and performance.

  I love my Saab 9-3 - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Jenna - October 21 - 11:33 pm

  Its the best car that Ive owned. I test drove an Audi A4, Lexus IS 250, and an Infiniti G35. I enjoyed driving the Saab way more and nothing compared to the super-comfy seats. You also get way more for the money. I get get really good fuel economy, about 30-32. It handles really well in the rain and its quiet. I LOVE IT!

  What a fantastic power plant - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By John - August 21 - 10:50 pm

  We have had our Saab for 2 years and 45k miles now. The car has performed flawlessly. The reliability has been fantastic. Love dealing with my dealer for parts and the free service. Would look at Saab again, especially now that they have their ownership issues under control.

  2007 anniversary edition - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By yellow_dog - August 15 - 2:30 pm

  Bought the car a few weeks ago with 22K miles on it with 100K CPO warranty. Excellent value given the purchase price, the warranty, the low miles and the fact that it is loaded with options. The anniversary edition is fully loaded and handles well, surprising picking and response for a 4 cyl. I came very close to purchasing the MB 280 instead of this, so glad that I didnt. This car has personality. Gets 32 MPG on the highway with regular gas.

  2007 to the old Saab of yester year.. - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By justin - August 7 - 5:40 pm

  Solid car owned a fair share of Saabs, better build then my 2000 Saab 93 SE. However lacks the road feel and fun of an old pre GM models from the 80s and early 90s.

  Great car, especially for the price - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By 2nd Saab - May 31 - 11:03 pm

  Looked at the A4, S60R and TL before buying the Aero. Traded an older A4 Avant (2000). Turbo is a little flat in top gear passing, but I believe thats somewhat common in 6sp with turbo motors. Lag off the line is there, but minimal, then picks up much quicker than the new A4 turbos (even the Saab 2.0T seemed to have better acceleration than the A4 2.0T, though the Audi is smoother). Excellent on the highway, fun on backroads (excellent powerband from around 1800rpm on), with an easier clutch than on the Audis (both old and new). The Aeros spoiler is VERY low to the ground. Seats are comfortable, but interior controls/surfaces feel very cheap.

  Best Entry-Level Car for the Money - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Seattle Saabster - May 24 - 8:03 am

  I was looking for a car that was sporty, reliable, and had good gas mileage for my 40 mile r/t commute. I considered several cars at the <$30K price range, but was attracted to Saabs rebate incentive and my having owned Saabs for the past 20+ years. For the price, you cant get a better entry-level luxury car that equals the 9-3 SportCombi in performance, fuel econonmy, safety, standard features (leather, etc.) and practicality (cargo room, etc.). The SportCombi does not disappoint. The 6-spd manual (hard to find) is fun to drive, and Ive been impressed with the 33 mpg Im receiving on the highway.

  Great Sleeper! - 2007 Saab 9-3
  By Eric - March 4 - 10:26 am

  Just completing 3 years of ownership and still love to drive it. Looked at A4, 3 Series, etc and settled on Saab as the quirky underdog. But for the price (around $30k out the door at the time), much faster than similar priced cars, and none of the BMW snooty/arrogance in the in the image. More often than not, people are surprised by the power, the speed off the line, and the PASSING POWER - love driving this car on highways (great seats, good size, great visibility for a modern car...at least the sedan is, not sure of wagon). Not for those wanting quick respect from other "car people", but lots of fun if you want a practical compromise and still have a blast on an interstate.
