My Brother-in-law's new 9^3 sport sedan Posted by RS [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Man, what a nice car.
We flew up from ATL to civilization (BOS) this week. Now that I'm back in the hinterlands, I have time to report about the new 9^3.
It has the best qualities of the C900 (firm ride, sprightly handling, easy ingress and egress from the front doors) with everything else (except for the hatch) that an early 21st century car should have - the torque band starts from the bottom and rides up all the way up the RPMs, it has great gizmos, and it's pretty darned quiet.
With the wider tires on 16" rims and wider stance, it corners better than any other SAAB I've drriven except for the '03 9^5 Aero.
The thing about pinching with the E-brake is pretty easily remedied ... learn to keep your fingers away from the front of the lever. We're all used to having the release button on the end of the lever, but o the 9^3 it's on the lower front end, as it sits when it's disengaged.
The interior is a little plain, and I'd love to see some upgrades to it.
SAAB definitely has a winner!!!
