Saab’s 9-3, more than ever, is the cornerstone of the GM-owned Swedish company’s Australian presence. An almost bewildering range of models, plus three body styles – sedan, convertible and SportCombi wagon - spring from one platform. The 9-3 is a worthy prestige contender with good space, a generally classy air and excellent dynamics backed up by a wide range of engine options. Saab’s tradition of Aero models continues with the 2.8-litre V6 turbo convertible punching 188kW and 350Nm through six-speed auto or manual transmissions. Equipment includes sports suspension, body kit, powered front sports seats, parking sensors and six-stack CD Bose audio.
