Auto Express Car Reviews Rating: For : Safe, good value, pacy 1.9-litre TTiD engine Against : Ageing, uninspiring to drive, dated switchgear DrivingThe front-wheel-drive 9-3 does not feel state of the art from behind the wheel. It was facelifted in 2007, but as the company points out the 9-3 has a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, there really was no need to change its underpinnings. However, although it is comfortable enough, there’s no disputing the fact that rivals offer great handling and better body control. Mechanically though, there is a highlight – the twin-turbo 1.9-litre TTiD. The smaller turbocharger minimises lag and provides great throttle response, while the larger one helps it produce 400Nm and 178bhp. It’s smoother than the single-turbo 1.9-litre TiD, but can still get raucous when pushed hard. As with all Saabs, the manual gearshift is rubbery, too. The four-cylinder petrol alternatives are feeling their age now, but the 2.8-litre V6 turbo is an impressive performer. MarketplaceThe facelifted 9-3 is very much of the nip and tuck variety. The biggest changes came at the front, with a distinctive eyebrow light across the top of the main lamp. Elsewhere, there’s a cleaner look, and the new ‘ice-white’ tail lamps are stylish. Offered in saloon and Sport Wagon estate guises, the Saab offers a less expensive premium alternative to a BMW 3-Series or Audi A3. A line-up of fleet-focused Airflow, Linear SE and Vector Sport models are easy to follow, but while there’s a large range of engines, it’s the TiD 120 and 150 units that sell most strongly. OwningA new interior in 2006 still didn’t raise quality levels to the standards of rivals, and while it did reduce the button-count, some of the switchgear still appears dated. The soft seats offer excellent long-distance comfort though, and ergonomically, the safe Saab is intuitive to use. Furthermore, while rear legroom is not particularly generous, the saloon’s boot is decent and the Sport Wagon’s cargo area is well thought out. Cleverly, the middle section of the floor can be folded upwards and used to prevent shopping bags from sliding around. Equipment levels also impress, and the 1.9-litre diesel variants prove economical – more so than the slightly thirsty petrol units. Where the Saab’s sub-premium status shows is in retained values, though. They’re simply not as good as those of its German competitors.

There's something tactile and immediate about the driver feedback from this Swedish reworking of Vauxhall's Vectra floorpan that makes it come alive on a demanding road. It's good, but is it a true Saab? Too much General Motoring tinkering has tainted the traditional image of Trollhättan's products. They're watered-down versions of the unique Saab style and some consider them little more than rebadged clones of Vauxhall and Opel cousins. But that's unfair. After two weeks with a 1.9-litre 9-3 TiD turbodiesel in Vector trim I'm back on side. Look at it this way - General Motors pays the bills and makes some unpalatable business decisions; but Saab engineers design and build the 9-3, and it shows. Saab offers two turbodiesels in the 9-3 - a rather arthritic 2.2-litre version of an aging General Motors design which can be greedy and noisy and only manages 125bhp. The other is a joint Fiat/General Motors 1.9-litre product which is modern, clean, brisk and available in two stages of tune - an eight-valve 120bhp version and the 150bhp 16-valver I had on test. It's brilliant. Bolted into the sporting Vector specification it delivers a tax-efficient and fun-packed four-door with great handling, excellent seating, good economy along with some brash trim and a ride that reminds you the emphasis is on sports driving.
