Saab 9-3 Summary

The Saab 9-3 is a delight to drive. The SportCombi is a nice combination of sportiness and hauling function in a pretty, modern wrapper that offers more than 70 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat flopped out of the way. The high-output V6 engine is a hoot to drive, with plenty of low-down torque, and highway mileage across the line varies from 28 to 30 miles per gallon. The current 9-3 manages to remain a Saab yet has no really bad manners or habits.
