The 9-3 is a nice car (we enjoy ours), but it is not traditional Saab in manufacture or content. Unfortunately, ours has been plagued with rattles, defects, and manfuctions since the day we bought the car. If you search here a, you will see much of the same from many many people - and everyone seems to have the same problems, defects and complaints. It's a shame, because the design of the 9-3 is really strikingly handsome IMHO.
The older 900s (so many still out there as daily drivers) are testiments to the "old" Saab quality. GM-ization has not been good to Trollhattten.
We also own a BMW and a Porsche, and while I'll give you that the 9-3 is a heck of a deal at $26K, it isn't even remotely close to a 3-series in terms of substance. (Unfortunately for BMW, their entire lineup has been whipped hard by the ugly stick.)
