Verleden jaar heb ik een 1.8I sport Estate met 160.000 op de teller gekocht. Wat mij opvalt en nooit wordt genoemd is het fijne rijgedrag van de toch grote auto in het stadsverkeer of het verkeer buiten de snelweg om. Vlot, sportief, bochtenwerk.
Nice review, I love my '08 9.3 2.0T aero estate. I bought mine 5.5 years ago when our first child was on her way. It has run about 200k kms now. First real maintenance points were this year, it's been dead reliable, very comfortable with almost everything you need. Would like ACC but that's it. I still regret trading my sweet '04 9-3 Vector convertible though...will get another nice Saab convertible at some time probably
Nice review!!! My favorite review of this car. It offers side airbags unlike the old ones. People don't think about it until something happens. I wouldn't buy a Saab 900 even though it's my favorite car of all time, unless it's for a side car to have fun in rarely. Also this is a quiet car. My cousin has a Saab 900 from the 90s and it's so loud you can't have a conversation. And it's just wind noise. Finally, the old cars are super slow unless they are tuned or the top trims which are hard to find. Not everyone wants the 9-5 either. The 2005 looks 50 years old on the inside. The 2007 is ugly on the outside. This 2008-2011(USA) 9-3 Sportcombi 2.0 t is better looking, lighter, handles better, a foot smaller making it easier to zip through traffic on a busy highway, much nicer on the inside and offers All wheel drive!!!!!!!!! It's also far far far more reliable than the 9-5. Some like the 6 cylinde but who wants a 3000 pound car????? If someone wants a 9-5 power, they can always tune the 9-3 to make more. It's a nicer car. And my favorite car (the 9-3 wagon).
utubecomment21 Everything the 9-5 has almost no GM interference. Mainly for me its the B235 engine delivers great preformance(185 to 250HP). The interior is abit old but comfortable. Overall the 9-5 is a 9000 just a different body and other tweaks.
Saab was overrated. I bought a new 9-3 1.8i back in 2005. After a few weeks, the black plastic on some of the dashboard buttons was starting to peel off... A few months later, I had 3 buttons that were competely white... So impossible to see what the buttons were for (I knew of course, but the pictures on the buttons were completely gone). After someone crashed into my parked 1.8i, in 2011, I made the mistake buying another Saab, an 1.8t (used car, from 2008). Shouldn't have bought another Saab but I needed a new car immediately so I bought one that was available. That car depreciated very fast because Saab was getting into financial trouble and eventually went broke.. I got peanuts when I sold it in 2015 to buy a BMW 5 series (used car, 2007). It wasn't until I started driving my BMW 5 series that I realized Saab was junk. My 2007 BMW 5 series was far more superior to the 2008 Saab. Saab was destined to disappear. Too expensive for mediocre quality. I now drive a 2017 BMW 5 series and I simply love it.
I have a 2006 SAAB 93 Aero. It has proven to be a very reliable car. I like it for many reasons.
Do you still own it?
@@BHP_farm yes
@@1aikane when did you get it? How many miles currently and any expensive repairs? Thinking of getting one. Thanks for your time.
@@BHP_farm 2017, 89300, CIM was the most expensive repair, new AC compressor too. Runs and drives very nice.

Best 9-3 review! I didn't understand a single word though as the gentleman was speaking Chinese.
Sounds like Cambodian to me
😂

Hij oogt nu nog steeds modern
This is one of the best reviews i've come across. Please update your Viggen video with subtitles for us Yanks!
Viggens I've never seen one, but bmws I see ants driving them and they always leaking, also I think facelifts are plastic like BMW parts
nice looking estate for the price , thinking of getting one , are they reliable
i own a sporthatch 1.9 tid 150 hp....just done 500.000 km...still faster and snappy then most brand new vw or audi....i think nothing more to add....
How reliable are the turbos on these cars ?
check it out
Great review. Didn't understand ONE WORD.
You can turn on english subtitles 😎
Great review thanks.
Tandarts-imago? Mijn tandarts rijdt een Ferrari 612...
mmm ja die van mij heeft een bentley,
Maar het is wel een aparte bak Saab, op de achterlichten na, best een mooie wagen
如果有人要賣Saab 換福特，那我覺得他一點眼光都沒有
Nog steeds geen bmw e39 m5.....
Dreadful, cheap, rubbish car. Buy a real Saab ... Turbo 99 or 900 (Pre GM cars) .... that's a real Saab!
Why? Are the estates from 2007 any good
I agree that pre GM Saabs are much better the 9-3 is a good car. although the 9-5 is much better than the 9-3
Alex Paradis In what way is the 9-5 better?

I bet that BMW is broken now.
