  When you talked about the loss of SAAB, you really looked emotional. In Sweden, we call people like you a true believer (it's a compliment).

  I've got a 2006 blue vector one, also a BMW 9 years old 320i and I prefer the Saab by far. It's a love for life.

  Awww thank you man! Love SAAB. Miss them a lot. We had nearly every kind of SAAB in our family since the 1960s. We had so many SAABs in the driveway that occasionally someone would knock on the front door inquiring if we were a SAAB garage as they needed a SAAB mechanic. Yup. It was really something. And we got our neighbors into SAAB also. We were SAAB central on the main st in our town.

  one thing I love about saab is that its old enough to be obscure but not obscured to the point of oblivion<br>I daily a Saab 900 sedan and always people ask me what that car is<br>makes me proud of it

  Same here. A true Saab lover. Still have a tweaked 9-3 v1 with Aero spoiler trionic 5 and a 2.3 B234 engine from an older Saab 9000. Mine has 450HP and it&apos;s crazy how strong the old engine blocks are compared to the B205/B235 T7 and newer Saab/GM engines.<br><br>In my opinion, the 9-3 you review here is already not a real Saab anymore ... I personally like my series and the 9-5 also and older 900&apos;s best.

  I just bought my daughter a 2006 saab 9-3 turbo &nbsp;she not long got her licence grandparents were going off when she drives our 300hp Toyota Kluger , I’m a mechanic I honestly think the saab is a far better and safer car than say a Kia or Hyundai, just wait till the grand parents see the 9-3 turbo badge 😂

  I bought an &apos;06 Saab 9-3 vector 1.9 Tid half a year ago. I saved the car from complete destruction as it was in really bad conditions. I already spent half of the price I originally paid for the car to fix all the faults and broken parts on the poor thing. I really don&apos;t regret it, because I have a unique, quirky car as a first car. It definitely has it&apos;s problems and as I fixed all the problems my parents said that I should sell it and buy a newer, better car. But I realised that it&apos;s already a 20 year old car, has 313k km in it, lot of scartches on the outside and a missmatched front bumper from the previous owner. My plan is that i&apos;ll keep the car as long as it is able to run, which I hope is at least like 8+ years, but i&apos;m definitely not selling it, I&apos;ll be the last owner.
