Saab owners are the most objective bunch. This was a question I wanted to post to find out if you are partial to Saabs or subjective on other cars.
First, let me clarify that I have owned 3 Saabs, currently an 02 Viggen Conv.
The 9-3 is based on an old platform, if you were to compare it with cars in the same segment like the Bimmer, Audi, Infinity, Mazda and even the new Mustang, the chassie and handling is not to par. Don't fool yourself guys, the Viggen strenghts lies in the soul of the car, great 4 cycl. turbo engine, trunk space and seats. It also looks great to me but that is SUBJECTIVE. Do me a favor and test drive the above mentioned vehicles, forget about perfromace for a sec.and just drive and you will see that in almost every handling and ride aspect, the 9-3 cannot compete. Well, as for performance is all about $$$
The 9-3 is truly quirky,and why do I drive one? Trust me, having test driven many other cars, I have contemplated several times to bail but for the price, looks and because it is rare, that is why I'm still on this forum.
At the end of the day, it boils down to what you like and want to spend. If you're looking for ride, handling and performance, there are many other options.
Good luck.
