Car had major issues: under the car, the engine was covered with oil and leaking oil with a steady drip; A/C did not work; tires were supposed to be new, but were worn down; no cargo cover in back; and more...Jun 11, 2024

These Saab 9-3 SportCombi wagons are an incredible value. I bought the 4 cylinder which has really good gas mileage, plenty of space in the back (which works great for a small family), handles really well, and is fun to drive for me. I am super excited about this purchase and will enjoy this Saab for many many years!Mar 18, 2020

This particular Saab is a fairly rare bird - a sport version of the wagon with a 6sp manual. It provides a great combo of decent fuel economy (25-26 on average), zippy acceleration, and decent space for hauling. On the flip side, since Saab is defunct, parts can be more expensive and not everyone works on them.Mar 08, 2015
