Pros: Handling, acceleration, front seat comfort, still unique even in more mainstream form
Cons: Seats could use more lateral support, rear seat tight, high cowl
Summary: A year ago I drove and reviewed the then-new 9-3 in base trim, “Linear” in Saab parlance. I found it overly bland, especially for such an idiosyncratic marque, and hypothesized that the performance model, the “Vector,” could be better. ...

Pros: Swedish luxury, leading safety, great turbo engine, even greater interior experience, center key ignition, beautiful
Cons: some noise issues, faulty key system, rear seats could be more comfortable
Summary: EXPERIENCE WITH CAR: I have had my 2004 9-3 Linear for about a year now and I still look forward to driving it home everyday after work. I commute about 45 minutes each way, all highway, so driving my Saab each day is like being an airline pilot. I ...

Pros: breath-taking driving experience; more airbags and safety features than you can count
Cons: seat cushions need some beefing up; audio system needs better speakers
Summary: If you're anything like me, the more you learn about this car, the more you'll want to buy it. I've had my 2004 9-3 Linear for 4 months, and I've already put over 7000 miles and three long roadtrips on it. Other reviewers have covered the features and ...

Pros: Refinement of driving experience. Great gas mileage
Cons: Linear version has just average sound system.
Summary: I had been trying for quite some time to get my wife to get a new car. She had a 9-year old car, but nothing new really attracted her. Finally, I had her drive the Saab 9-3 Linear 5-speed. To my great surprise, she really liked it. So that's what we

Pros: Power, ergonomics
Cons: Hard ride, seat memory button
Summary: I have recently bought a Saab 9-3 Arc Sedan, Loaded. I like the car very much, but, when I get in and out of the car, the seat fabric 'folds over' and erases the seat memory!. If the buttons were placed differently, or perhaps in some way less

Pros: Easy/fun to drive
Cons: Lateral seat support, noisy ABS
Summary: I just dumped my 1999 Audi A4 Quattro for a brand new 2004 Saab 9.3 Linear and let me tell you, this car is wonderful and a joy to drive! It drives way better than my Audi ever did and is great in the snow too (the TCS and Stability are great features)!
