I know this isn't the correct forum for this question, but I respect your guys' opinions.
I'm vaguely thinking about looking at a Saab 9-3 - either a 2007 2.0T or a 2004 Aero. Both are CPO, have similar mileage and are within a few thousand bucks of each other.
I'm planning on going and driving them this weekend, but I wanted to get some early thoughts from people who may have owned them or driven them before. I'm a little nervous about owning a front wheel drive car - it has been a LONG time since I drove a FWD car (over 10 years) - however, the TT's quattro system is actually FWD biased, so I'm betting it may not be too big of a change. I'm also concerned about reliability on Saabs. Plus, I've always thought they were sort of quirky - I've never thought of myself as a "Saab" driver.
Having said all that, I love the styling, they get great gas mileage, the interiors appear to be very nice, they have awesome safety ratings, the pricing on used ones is very good and the dealer who sells Saab in town is awesome - my favorite salesman works there.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich
