What has not gone wrong with this car is a more appropriate question.

Maintenance cost on this vehicle is disturbing. The power window mechanism went out and had to be replaced - luckily while still under warranty.

The remote door locks fail and had to be replaced.

The CD player malfunctions with even brand new CDs. The entertainment system can only be replaced by the manufacturer because no other vendors have products that will fit.

The tail lights vibrate loose and have to be readjusted to assure they work.

A part of the emissions went out and had to be replaced that was in excess of $600 to replace.

A part of the wheel mechanisms had to be replaced that cost another $600 plus dollars.

Brakes and rotors wear out too quickly and are extremely expensive to replace - a simple break job can cost in excess of $1000 if completed by the dealer.

The emblems stickers peel off that cost $50 to replace - have had to replace both the front and back emblem sticker - a sticker cost $50 bucks - unbelievable

General Comments:

Don't purchase this car. The original owners of SAAB would be ashamed at the low quality junk General Motors has made of this once fine automoble.

Dash peeling, everywhere! Fading door handles!

...All replaced under Saab amazing warranty. They'll replace practically anything, no questions asked.

General Comments:

I love this car. I have had it for almost six months, and the new car-ness has yet to wear off. I still get a little high every time I turn the key and start it up, and drive to work/school daily. The handling is fantastic, fuel economy is excellent, key location, interior amenities and styling are awesome, I love this car.

One of the best parts is that it's not a car that everyone has. Sure, everybody has a Camry and a Accord, very few sport a 9-3!

I replaced the brakes, both front and rear pads and rotors, new spark plugs, and new oil. But I knew it needed relacing because that is what you GET with a used car... So many people have a hard time with that concept, they think everything is going to be perfect with the car. Well it's used things needed to be replaced after awhile. The ESP light was on when I bought it, was going to go to the dealer, but I decided to investigate it myself. WELL guess what, there was a fuse missing, solved the whole problem, yup, it was that easy people who write bad reviews. I love this car and I would definitely buy another regardless of what bad review writers say about it, I also don't think they should hate the car because their local dealership stole their money. (deal with it and move on)
