Are you having problems with your 2011 Saab 9-3?
Bradford Bernhard 2024-11-25
I love my Saab! The acceleration is outstanding and the gas mileage is awesome. I'm also really enjoying the heated seats, rain-sensing wipers, and quality climate control. Plus, I got a great deal on it - only $23,400 for a new entry-level luxury car! Overall, driving my Saab is an absolute pleasure.
Erik Leannon 2024-11-18
Best car you've ever owned! It's fast, nimble, unique, and has a beautiful design. And the best part? NO problems! Plus, it's such a great deal - even cheaper than a loaded Civic. What's not to love?
Dewayne Kuvalis 2024-11-16
Anyone who drives this car will appreciate the very smooth and adequately powerful turbo engine. It's also one of the safest cars on the road. In terms of gas mileage, it consistently gets 22 in the city and 29 on the highway, so the 18-23 quoted in the review is odd. It's very comfortable to drive and at 26k, it's a steal. This is a great family car.
Carroll Donnelly 2024-10-03
It's a Saab! You've got to know how to fix them!
Elliot Harvey 2024-09-28
I purchased a laser red 'stripper' model without xenon, roof, Center Point, park assist, and other features that others have referenced. However, I am confident in my decision as I had a great experience with my previous 06 CTS and wanted to improve my gas mileage. The Saab has a stick and the clutch pedal action is light with good pick up. The seats and instrumentation are perfect and even the base level stereo is good. The 16-inch stripper wheels look great on this car and save $25.00 per tire when it's time to buy new rubber. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and really like this car!
