Today I sat in a 9-3 Aero! Great car, with Sentronic, grey leather seats... I didn't make a testdrive, but March 6th I get the car in the morning, so I can write here how it was... If you are interestet!?

OK, that's all for now

Regards, Philippe

Definately interested Let us know how you get on (pics if possible! )

Are you getting a 9-3ss Aero too?

OK, sics could be possible. I forgot to say, the car was black. Looks really nice.
My father would buy the Aero, perhaps. That would be his first Saab, so he's not sure yet. Now he has got a VW Passat. Well, not a bad car.

By the way: Saab starts a new promotion in Switzerland. It's called "Saab Perfect Drive Acadamy". There you can take safety lessons, for example braking on water, high speed braking and things like that (I hope you know what I mean...)
After that you can test every Saab car you want.
Length: 3 hours
And the really good news: It's all for FREE!

I didn't realise that your Carlsson drained your finances so you had to move to a trailer park

*I didn't realise that your Carlsson drained your finances so you had to move to a trailer park[/b]Damn! I've been sussed Think that is a caravan park near Lizard Point Cornwall - summer holiday last year.


I thought you had (here) already, Kev *[/b]Guilty as charged


Passat = Pants *[/b]How so? A bit dull, though sturdy, reliable and jolly nice cars all round. Competitors I drove at the time 2 years ago -

Ford Mondeo - good drive though flimsy and even more common than Passat
Renault Laguna - lovely looks, though interior plasticy and far slower than it looked
Skoda Octavia TD 100BHP - excellent all round, though wanted a 1.8T and couldn't test drive
Seat Leon Cupra - Very fast, though not as quick feeling as the 2.3 Carlsson and lacked http://www.saabscene.com/forum/images/smilies/fawlty.gif as well as boot space.

I have never been in let alone driven a Vectra, so what makes a Passat "Pants" in comparison?

PS. Would have got a Saab but lease wouldn't stretch http://www.saabscene.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
