A Quick Look At The Saab 9-3
Total Fleet Services has a wonderful selection of Saab 9-3 vehicles, cars with plenty of storage and cargo space that nonetheless drive like a luxury automobile. The Saab 9-3 Estate cars has a beautiful exterior and interior but the real joy is under the hood. The Estate comes equipped with either a 120bhp engine with a five speed manual, a 150bhp five speed manual, or a turbo charged 2.8 litre V-6 with a six speed gearbox.
Moreover the Saab 9-3 Estate is extremely fun to drive. The standard wheels are sixteen inches and are as conducive to cruising fast down A roads as they are to touring down more challenging back roads – larger wheels are available, which only serves to improve a quality of driving that is already tremendous, not to mention the fantastic grip larger wheel bases offer. The Estate also exhibits exquisite handling, and the diesel engines especially take tight corners with an extremely light touch.
The Saab 9-3 Estate easily has room for up to four or five occupants. Furthermore, the cabin is amazingly spacious, with plenty of room for comfort and space for occupants in the back seats as well of the front seats. The driver and front seat passenger will especially find that the roomy cabin and the stabilizing, comfortable seats invite longer and longer drives, while passengers in the back seats will marvel over the amount of shoulder and leg room that they are afforded. The Saab 9-3 Estate has extremely low noise levels so that neither road noise nor driving static are particularly noticeable. Air conditioning comes standard all the way round and both every day and back road driving promise smooth rides with no jostling, thanks to the low profile tires and the idyllic sports suspension.
The Saab 9-3 Saloon is a car which practically breathes class, taste, and an understated, subtle style that makes it a joy to both behold and to drive. The Saloon is praised for its powerful, purring engines and its luxurious but sporty drive as well – and it comes complete with an excellent, five start crash test rating.
The standard engine in the Saab 9-3 Saloon is a single, non turbo, petrol, 1.8 litre engine. A top of the line 2.8 litre V-6 engine features a six speed gearbox with either a manual or an automatic transmission, as well as 250bhp. There is also a five speed, 150 bhp engine which provides two hundred and thirty six pounds per feet of torque; the 120bhp offers two hundred and seven pounds per feet of torque and the V-6 engine comes with two hundred and fifty pounds per feet of torque. Overall, from the top of the range to the bottom, the Saab 9-3 Saloon is a joy even for those who are not interested in a fuel economic vehicle.
Even on the standard models of the Saab 9-3 Saloon, the ride is like a dream: it drives smoothly over any surface, whether the road is a perfectly paved city street or a rough and rocky back road. The handling is universally excellent all the way across the board and the Saloon’s steering is extremely light to the touch and eager to follow. The Saab 9-3 Saloon provides low profile tires and a strong, smooth suspension that makes it difficult for drivers and passengers to even know when they are driving over rougher terrain. The suspension system also makes for a smooth, secure ride at higher speeds. For such a powerful car, the Saab 9-3 Saloon has excellent traction even in less than savory conditions, such as rain, sleet, snow, and hail. Those models of Saab 9-3 Saloons which feature an automatic gearbox fare even better.
The front seats in the Saloon are extremely supportive and comfortable, and there is a delightfully surprising amount of leg room both in the front and in the back.
