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

The 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).Oct 19, 2011
