Hey guys, im new the this board.
I am planning on getting a Saab 9-3 Aero '06 (dual exhaust mmmmmm)
I'll be graduating college in 2007 and hopefully some used 06 Aero's will be out.
I was just wondering, they say a Saab isn't for everyone. What makes people say this? The turbo lag? Looks?(I think they look dead sexy)? Price- I can understand this one.
I wanted a Luxury-Sports car... Out of these runner ups: Honda S2000, Nissan 350z, Infinity G35, Volvo S 60-R, Acura TL
S2000- I could imagine a hoodlum just taking a knife to my hood.
350z- typical/played out
G35- typical, lots of my friend has one and im not that impressed.
Volvo S60-R- Expensive, Rating's arent good as the 9-3, 9-3 Interior looks better, and 9-3 has better gas milage
Acura TL- Not much to say here. A fine fine car, but 9-3 looks won me over.
Anyone have any counter arguments?
Only counter arguments I can possibly think about are:
Horrible resale value- Can be negated because I will purchase after I test drive and see if the Saab "is for me"
Not many modifications- Intake, Exhaust and Headers/ ECU Chips, body kits, etc. etc.
Anyone know where I can purchase such parts listed above for my Saab? Which parts will help me get the most bang for my buck?
The 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero does 0-60 in 6 seconds, but it seems a tad slow. I'm hoping to pull it down to the mid 5 second range. The quarter mile isnt bad, because the turbo kicks in but I think I will need more off-the-line power.
I was also wondering if anyone here had any good racing stories in their Saabs and if so, if they could start a topic. Thanks.
