I'm seriously considering purchasing a new Saab 9-3 in the near future. (The car would have manual transmission, probably with leather seats, and probably would not be an SE.) Before I take the plunge, I am interested in hearing the opinions of others who have purchaced 9-3s. Particularly if you've never owned a Saab before (since I haven't). I've done my research and even test-driven one (and I was impressed), and now I'm hoping to get the opinions of other 9-3 owners. Are you pleased with the car? What annoys you about it? What are the characteristics you like best? What sort of new-car-bugs are you experiencing? I've never owned a Saab (presently have a Mazda MX3), but I think it should meet my needs. My needs (and wants) include the following: a fairly luxurious and safe car that performs very well; one that deals well with cold, snowy and icy winters; and a car with plenty of storage space. The fact that they are fairly uncommon is a slight bonus, though hopefully that won't come back to haunt me when it needs servicing. I'm also considering a Volvo S70. Any feedback will be much appreciated. Derek Aldridge [Please remove "nospam" from my email address before trying to send email to me.]
