SAAB 9-3 tdi Vector

high horse · 2009-06-11 03:00:15

I'm interested in getting one of these SAABS: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/index.htm?md=571 Specifically the 150bhp 1.9 diesel Vector sport model. So does anybody here have one or any experience of them? My driving style would be to push a car reasonably hard on twisty roads so I'm wondering what the handling is…

My driving style would be to push a car reasonably hard on twisty roads so I'm wondering what the handling is like on these cars. The 17" wheels should help there.
Does the back seat fold down? i sometimes carry large items in the car.

Opinions, good or bad, are needed here.

If you like to push the car then the 93 is probably not for you. You'd probably prefer a 3 series driving wise

Back seats fold down - the 9-3 wouldn't be that well thought of for its handling, although it's a nice drive in general. If you're going for the 9-3 the 150bhp 1.9TiD is the one to go for.

Good looking cars . The 1.9 has plenty of poke and is very frugal as well.
