2008 Saab 9-3 2.0t Sedan 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Weston, Massachusetts, United States
|
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. |

NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao
Thu, 10 Jan 2013National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.
Saab 900 SPG is the latest Petrolicious love story
Thu, 03 Oct 2013The latest video from the crew at Petrolicious covers one funky Swede - a 1989 Saab 900 SPG. Produced from 1978 to 1998, the 900 enjoyed a long history, and thanks to its iconic look, it's quickly becoming a modern classic for the off-kilter car enthusiast. The SPG, short for Special Performance Group, makes this a particularly rare find, with owner Jordan Melville saying, "I didn't even realize what I had at the time."
Melville gives a rundown of his life with the 900 and his passion for Saab overall, even reflecting on that dark day that saw the Swedish brand closed its doors. As always, the videography is excellent and the story is intriguing in this latest video from Petrolicious. You can view the entire video down below.
Super sleeper Saab 900 does 174 mph in the standing mile
Sun, 14 Apr 2013Somewhere behind Hennessey setting a new top speed record at this year's Texas Mile with its camouflage Ford GT, a stock-looking 1996 Saab 900T pulled up to the line to see what it could do. The dealer showroom wheels wouldn't offer any indication that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood was getting help from a Garrett turbocharger, a tuned ECU and E85 gas to put out 465 horsepower at the front wheels.
Knowing that, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that at the other end of the mile the sky blue Swedish wonder was doing 174 miles per hour. The four-cylinder class at the Texas Mile has plenty such rockets, too, this Swede coming just behind a Dodge Neon that did 175.8 mph. You can watch the Saab do its thing in the video below.
