In my first video back, I introduce you to the daily driver I have been using for several months, a cheap SAAB 9-3 Aero. Follow me on Instagram - / carsandcustard #cars #saab #saab93
A very informative review of such an underrated, quirky Swedish wagon. Plenty of pulls with stuff in the boot too, you wouldn't get that on TV nowadays! 😉 This video gave me Chris Goffey/early Top Gear vibes (that is a compliment I promise 😅)
I've had my 08 9-3 since 2010. Was facing a clutch replacement and bought a Mercedes CLA to replace the Saab with. Ended up selling the rather disappointing MB after a few weeks and doing the clutch job on the Saab instead.
I’ve only driven an early 2.8T saloon and whilst it did feel obviously brisk, I was left a little bit underwhelmed by the performance. The step up in performance from the later 2.0T’s I drove wasn’t too noticeable. It was standard admittedly. I’ll have to drive another.
Gotcha. Mine is a XWD which has 280 HP and Ive raced it against my friends 2.0T Stage 1 (250HP) and it was neck and neck on a straight. Once you tune the 2.8T its no competition. @@carsandcustard
