I am the second owner of this car, I bought it used from a Certified Preowned dealership back in the fall of 2010 with 49,000 miles on it. I've put 34,502 miles on it since to bring us to a grand total of 83,502 miles. Its a great car and has proven to be very reliable. I got into an accident a few years ago and got the car fully repaired. It broke down on me late this summer, but I had all the necessary repairs done and it is back in great physical and running order. (Dents and such are listed in the appropriate section)

This car gets GREAT highway and rural MPG, which is well above the listed stats Saab gave them. I find it easy to get 30+ MPG on the highway and generally 26-28 MPG in rural areas. City estimates are 18 MPG. If you don't believe me check out some online forums, they often boast great highway MPG! I have always gotten the oil changed regularly, but given that it takes synthetic oil, oil changes are far in-between (but a little more pricy). Please note that it does have power seats, but only on the drivers side. A few features unique to Saab is that the ignition is located in the central console and it has a feature that turns all the inside lights off besides the speedometer, very handy during nighttime driving. This is a very reliable, efficient, sporty looking and driving car with enough Swedish quirkiness to set you apart from the regular sport sedans.

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen

Tue, Jan 19 2016

Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:

Want one of the last Saab 9-3s ever built? Here's your chance

Fri, Jun 7 2019

National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) purchased the assets of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab in 2012. The next year, NEVS restarted production of the 9-3 sedan that lasted until 2014. In December 2013, the company pulled a silver 9-3 Aero Turbo from its pool of customer cars, intended for crash testing. The crash test never happened, and that silver sedan hung out at the factory for six years. Autocar writes that NEVS wants to find that Saab a good home, and will put it up for auction later this year. The model has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 217 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, shifted through a six-speed manual transmission. Other than the fact it's spent six years holed up in a Swedish factory, the condition is brand new - there are only 3.1 miles on the odometer. It's hard to predict what such a time capsule might go for. NEVS only built 420 units before ceasing production, so the 2013 9-3 Aero Turbo has rarity on its side. This isn't the only such Saab to roll out of the crypt recently, though. In 2017, a 2014 9-3 Aero popped up in the Netherlands with only 211 miles on the odo. In 2018, a 2011 diesel 9-3 SportCombi wagon with 56 miles on the odo broke through the space-time continuum in Italy. NEVS will put its 9-3 on display in Trollhattan this weekend during the annual Saab Car Museum Festival.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
