Saab 9-3

Overall Average Rating - 81.71%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 93rd

If Saab wants to be considered a genuine rival to the likes of BMW, Audi and Mercedes, it has to come up with something better than the current 9-3.

Aptly ranked in 93rd position, the Swede’s reliability and build quality aren’t up to scratch. And while 9-3 drivers rate the comfort, 90th for handling suggests Saab’s engineers need to sort out the driving dynamics.

Ratings

Position in the Top 100 cars
Reliability: 93rd
Build Quality: 97th
Running Costs: 83rd
Performance: 55th
Braking: 78th
Ride Quality: 64th
Handling: 90th
Practicality: 75th
Comfort: 20th
Ease of Driving: 78th

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 20th)

It’s finished ahead of Ford, but Saab has dropped four places. The fact its range was voted 31st out of 35 for running costs suggests the impact of the firm’s frugal Biopower model line-up is minimal.
