I'm thinking about getting a new car. I'm interested in the Saab 9-3 Aero. What do you all think? I'm still going to keep the Celi though, there's no way I'd sell her...she's my baby. >>
This will be my work car. I'm thinking about taking advantage of the European Delivery program they have. Where I can pick up my Saab in Sweden.

Features:

*2.0T turbocharged engine
*210 hp and 221 lb. ft. of torque
*5-speed manual gearbox
*Lowered sport-tuned chassis
*17" twin 5-spoke alloy wheels, all-season tires
* Leather-appointed sport seats
*Electrically adjustable front seats
*Memory settings for driver's seat and exterior mirrors (optional)
*Metallic-finish trim
*Dual-zone Automatic Climate Control (ACC)
*Remote opening for windows and moonroof (optional)
*Cooled glove compartment
*Saab Infotainment with 300W and 13 speakers

MSRP: $34,700 +/-

I'm thinking after my discount and all the incentives minus the $2000 cash for the European Delivery Program it'll run my total to maybe $27,000-$28,000.

As cool as they are, I heard there junk, and not worth the money. I would say for that money get like a wrk or a bimmer

Yup, they look good, but they are junk... lots of them here on the streets and i cant tell even a good word on them...

Better get BMW, not a fan of these too, but what ever float you boat >> get Peugeot 406 coupe or 407 >> Or even new Citroen C4 coupe >>

Citroen C4 coupe

sometimes i hear sort of insult for Saab peoples...

"Saabism is a sickness" >>

That sucks to hear about the quality because I think saabs are awesome! I was going to say do it up but now I dont know, research it some more and see what you come up with!

For that price why not a Infiniti g35 coupe >>

for that price you might as well pony up the few extra bucks for an EVO or a STi

Id actually save some money and just get a used wrx. Like an 02 or something.

Ill sell you my husbands!

I'm shure he will like that >>

The best saab is the 9x, it did not make production but would have competed with the bmw m coupe, its so hot i dont know why they did not make production.

-Digndoug+Dec 21, 2004 - 9:21 AM


did u mean wrx by wrk?

well

the only saab i would ever consider would be a 9.2x aero, and even then, its a rebranded subaru WRX wagon

Guys i sorry but i m not from this planet... >> I am from Planet "Japan".....but the Saab 9-3 Aero sounds like a very good choice,and from my point of view its cheap....

-97sccelica+Dec 22, 2004 - 6:00 AM

My friend that just got the 9-2X Aero. It's really nice. Turbo on it is amazing.

As for the Evo or Wrx, I thought of that but really wasn't too solid on it like I am with the 9-3. I guess in a way I need a "buisness" car. lol If I were to choose between the 2 I'd get the Evo though. My friend had a 2002 WRX, turboed and everything, but it was a gas guzzler. Had to fill up like every 4 days. >> He had to sell it bcus he and his g/f were expecting and needed something more family oreinted. He misses it a lot!

same here mike.

well i have to say that i test drove it. btw, its a six speed not a 5-speed. not impressed at all with the torque. space in the interior was far less than adequate. also in my country it costs CYP 32,000 (thats $73.000)

i really can't understand why anybody even thinks about owning a car other than Toyota/Lexus.

-CelicaQT+Dec 22, 2004 - 5:03 AM

gas guzzler?

damn, i get better mpg than some ST drivers on this site.

i get 21-22mpg in the city

your friend had a lead foot. family oriented? the back seat has hooks for two baby seats.

that 9.3 aero wont get much better mpg

-97sccelica+Dec 22, 2004 - 9:23 AM

from my experience 21-22 mpg isnt very good.....not that Im knocking the wrx because its my top choice for a car. Maybe Im just used to the 30mpg eco cars.
