I may be joining the Dark Side, looking at a SAAB.

[Dave McFly]

There is a dealer in my town that has 3 almost identical Saab 9-3 2.0t turbo sedans. a red one, a white one, and a black one. the black one has the less miles and is oldest (2005) and is the most money. the red one has more miles than the black and is the newest (2007), the one I like is the white one, it has less miles than the red one (78k apposed to 85k) and more options (everything except onstar and sunroof). I drove the white one, all are powered by a turbocharged 2.0 DOHC 'ECOTEC' from GM motor rated at about 170hp. i can get the white one for 9 grand. i am serously tempted about trading in Monty for his sweedish cousin . Any Saab owners here past or present that can give me any pros/cons?



This is IDENTICAL to the car I looked at and drove and loved it, turbos rule!

FYI this generation of the the 9-3 (formally the 900 in the old days) is based on the same platform as the Pontiac G6, current Malibu, and the Saturn Aura .
