With 50,000 mileage, 93.1% of Saab’s showed no defect requiring the service and for the 100,000 km, this percentage is still respectable and is 84.2%. The result is a boost for Saab, taking into account that the Saab managed to surpass two major competitors in both categories, Audi A4 and Toyota Avensis.
Do you get good service on a Saab?
Very poor reliability and bad service. SAAB is not what used to be. The SAAB dealerships are basically Cadiallac dealership. The brakes need replacing very 20,000 and dealership charged me $1000 bucks for all four brakes. If want releability and service with intergrity buy a honda civic. Better gas milage, more reliability and better resale.
Is the 9-3 the safest car to buy?
The 9-3 and 9-5 didn’t win 5-Stars top Safety award from IIHS for nothing…it is truely the safest car on the road money can buy… As far as the 9-3 reliability is concerned Model Year 2002 is the safest bet. 2002 is the last model year for the old style hatch and 02-03 for the convertible. 2002 is the most refined 93 of the classic body style.
Why are Saab garages so bad for your car?
the brakes are bad, the engine and gearbox mountings fail, the serpentine belts and timing chains brake, the car is just a nightmare. And to top it all, Saab garages doesn’t care about the customers, they are a bunch of snobs and think you owe them something, they will help you if you pay them thousands, this is the LAST!!! Saab I’ll ever drive.
