When I purchased our 9-5 I asked three people at the dealership if I could use regular gas in the car just to see what answer I would get. Two of the people I had no association with and they said regular gas could be used with no problem. The third was a salesman I've known for 5 years and this was the 4th car I have purchased from him. (This was the first Saab he has ever sold.) He said sure I could use regular, but don't. His reason was the same as what saablcp said. He normally sells VW's and Audi's and he said he never recommends people use regular gas in their VW/Audi 2.0 turbos. The engines used in the 9-3 and 9-5 are high strung little babies. |

I have had my new 2007 93 2.0t manual for about a month and I find that it is really dificult to get into gear when the transmission is cold. Is this just a matter of letting the car warm up or is it worth having the dealer take a look? Overall I love the car. When I drive conservatively I am getting 35-38 mpg on the freeway, a pleasent suprise for sure after owning a subaru that never lived up to advertised fuel economy.

I recently purchased a 2006 9-3 Aero and I love it. One question......does anyone know if you can work with an aftermarket electronics provider to use the phone button on the steering wheel or the keypad and phone buttons on the dash? Thanks!

I'm torn between going with a 2006 Saab 9-3 and a 2006 Volvo S40 T5. They both seem to have fairly similar performance, features, and price. Any thoughts on why to go for a Saab 9-3 over the Volvo S40? I'm leaning towards the Volvo S40 since it seems like it has better reliability and safety (although Saab seems pretty close to Volvo in safety). Thanks for the help.
