man im thinking of buying a saab 9-3 turbo for a beater,its pretty nice....does anyone have experience with saab's? ive heard theyre dependable and get good gas mielage but ive also heard they break down alot and get terrible ga mielage...im gessing the people that had their saabs break down didnt know alot about turbo cars....thats my guess...any info or oppinions are much appriciated

 

my brother had a 99 saab 93 and we managed to break the parking brake twice, toward the end of the lease the parking brake would only work for one stop, the car was only fun when you are abusing it

yeah i heard that saabs can take alot of punishment and still stay reliable as long as you take care of the maintnence that comes with having turbo

 

new or used?

the new saabs look like a great deal

 

MY uncle has a "veegan" or something, sports model i think. Its a noice lookign ride.

 

I saw the new 9-3 on tv, didn't look too bad..

 

my co-worker has a 01 viggen. its pretty quick!

 

Are the new ones turbo?

 

sure are
