is it the 230 or the rarer 250 bhp version?
a friend has an estate, 250bhp and a mild map, not sure what its running now though.
deceptively quick and very quiet things, with the right dampers and bushes can handke ok too, pretty comfy seats to boot, his has full heated leather, inc rear seats!

Mines a 205bhp, I know there was the Viggen version which had more power but I don't know if the 230bhp was the later 9-3? It is amusingly fast, the turbo lag and kick is not very subtle, and it will pull all the way to redline without letting up. But as you say, its very comfortable as well, when you're not being silly its just a civilised, well specced family/rep mobile

ahhh its a 9-3, derp! that'll be a 2.0, my friend has a 9-5 so a 2.3, that one is a strange thing, if you just give it a bit more toe it gathers speed at a surprising rate without any fuss or lag.
he bought it from another friend who's picked up a 9-3 like yours but black and VERY cheap, apparently a little rusty on a strut top and scary to pilot :lol:

Ahh yes mines a 2.0. It is eerily quiet, very easy to be doing rather fast speeds without realising.. Ha the handling feels like its struggling with the power at the best of times, let alone with any rusty suspension components

main thing is everything is mounted on bushes, I'm used to french stuff where steering racks and subframes are solid mounted as standard

I do love Saabs, and recently got this as my daily Its the full fat 250BHP Aero and it is an amazing car. The way it gathers speed is scary, and it handles pretty well for a big old barge too whilst being soo comfy to drive. And they are stupidly cheap too.
