Saab 9-3

This version of the Saab 9-3 is a huge improvement over its predecessor. Handling is much more sporty, capable, and enjoyable. Further, braking performance is excellent. With the move to a sedan configuration, however, the 9-3 lost its hatchback versatility. An otherwise nice package is marred by a stiff ride, pronounced road noise, and a cramped rear seat. A wagon joined the 9-3 line for 2006.
