In the UK there are 3 distinct styles - 5-door hatchback 3-door Coupe 2-door Convertible. I must admit I thought it was the same in the US, but I may be wrong! Obviously engine and spec levels are different, but I thought the bodystyles were contiguous with most markets. Having said that, I know in Israel the only 9-3 is the 5-door! Concerning engines, I know the US only get two - the 205bhp High Output Turbo and the 225/230bhp HOT for the Viggen, whereas in the UK at least there are far more options, 99MY including the 2.0 normally aspirated engine, the 2.0 light pressure turbo, and the 185bhp full turbo, and then of course the two High Output engines.... >BlankHello, > >New here and new to Saabs (maybe). I have been looking into a new or used car and Saab is one car that I like. I test drove a 1999 9-3 today with my fiance and liked it. It is a lease car for resale from a dealer and listed at 17,900 which seems rather reasonable considering the sticker prices of new Saabs. My question is this. Is there anything fundamentally wrong with Saabs of that year and make, glitches, bugs, etc. My fiance has a Subaru which is fritzy in many ways and we have discovered that it was just endemic of that model of that year and that situation is what I would like to avoid in this next car purchase. Any input would be helpful since I have never owned a Saab before and really enjoyed the driving experience today. Thank you in advance, John > >feel free to post or email me directly, thanks again >
