I have a Saab 9-3 1.9TiD Vextor and it’s an incredible car. Much better than the 3 series which I have also driven. And there are no lags. My car moves very quickly. I dont Think you really now your cars.
@frutionfitness I've driven other cars too so after back to backing all those other cars, that lag is noticeable to me Edit: your TiD will more likely to have more low end torque
Saabs are easely tunable and in this case i think these are quite sober mods, not to flashy and good looking. They are 2 categories of saab guys, the boring architect and the young guy that likes the originality of these cars like me. In both cases, we keep this legendary brand alive on our roads and its the most important.
