Hi,
I am looking at a couple Saab 9-3 Convertible SE vehicles, between the
years 2002 and 2003. I test drove one today and the engine light was
on, and it seemed as though the gas gauge was malfunctioning.
Additionally, the car seemed to hesitate when the accelerator was
pressed down. I am not used to driving a Saab, and am not sure how it
should drive, but it didn't seem quite right. I guess I would just
like to know how these vehicles drive, as well as any problems I
should be looking for. Are there any common malfunctions or problems
with these vehicles? I own a Toyota FJ Cruiser as my main car, and
have an older Porsche as a summer car (which the Saab will replace).
As many of you probably know, Porsche is not the epitome of
reliability. I want something I do not have to worry about so much,
and something that is a little bit less expensive to fix. So what are
the best qualities of the 9-3? I was also looking at a Z3 and an
SLK230, but I think I really like the Saab more. Thank you for your
help.
