2008 Saab 9-3 SportCombi Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 Saab 9-3 SportCombi generally appreciate its strong performance, attractive design, and good handling. They particularly liked its powerful engine and fun driving experience, especially with its manual transmission. However, some drivers noted room for improvement in build quality compared to competitors like Audi and BMW. Owners also mentioned the rarity of parts due to Saab's defunct status."
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!
March 18, 2020Absolutely the best-looking sw in it´s class. No matter what the weather is like, it is just great to drive. Performance: The engine is powerful and frugal. Brakes just ooze confidence. Handling is sharp, the steering bit light but well balanced. Build quality: Nothing to complain about. Appearance: Looks just gorgeous. Cost of ownership: You get a load more for your money than you would with Audi or BMW. Running costs are quite low. Fun factor: A great-looking car that´s a hoot to drive = Loads of fun.
November 23, 2008The engine is quick and the steering response is very good, especially nice when running on ethanol instead of petrol, since that adds another 30hp. Not many other stationwagons can outrun this car when accelerating from 50 - 120. Outside appearence is nice, and the interior is solid black, but there are still some room for improvements in build quality (compared with Audi).

October 19, 2011Saab 9-3 is sold in three body styles: sedan, SportCombi wagon and convertible. Sedan and SportCombi models feel spacious, with low floors, upright windows and seating for five, though three in the rear seat can be tight. Legroom in particular is a sore spot. Convertible models have a rear seat for two adults of small-to-average size. Cargo room in all models is generous.
August 24, 2008Great handling, smoth gear box and good balanced turbo engine
April 17, 2008This 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.
March 8, 2015Best 4 seat convertible with amazing ride and handling! The Aero package is the only way to go from interior color combination, premium sound system and performance. The standard model paled in comparison when taking a test drive. 6 speed manual is the only way to go for true driving enthuiest (sp).
