Replying to: waterdr (Aug 14, 2008 6:21 pm) the cabin air filter is located on the passenger side firewall under the hood. remove the plastic cover at the very bottom of the windshile at right, lift up the plastic piece and you'll see it.

Replying to: avatar1 (Aug 16, 2008 5:58 am) I hope this reply isn't too late. I have a 2005 9-3, essentially the same design as the current 9-3. The ride is fairly quiet; I have no problem having a cell phone conversation while driving. The car also handles well in snow here in northern NJ, though I have never had it in a snow drift. I have never felt nervous while drving it through a snow storm. The 9-5 is based on an older design than the 9-3, so in my humble opinion, the 9-3 technology is more up to date. However, the 9-5 design is probably the last before the complete GM take over, so it is more of a pure Saab design. You need to weigh which means more to you.   Good luck!

#3252 of 3311 Just bought a 2008 saab 9-3 automatic by kowari Sep 03, 2008 (8:36 am)
Hi everyone. First time poster here. I bought a 2008 black 9-3 4dr sedan last weekend which was being shipped from New England to New York. It arrived today damaged - the dealer claims they don't know if it was damaged while on the other dealer's lot or while en route. They are now trying to contact other dealers to get another car. My question is, if they can't find one, is it within my rights to demand that they obtain one either with options I didn't pay for or a car in a different exterior/interior color? Can I demand that they eat whatever additional costs to get a car with options I didn't want or pay for? I haven't given them the full down payment yet but signed an agreement and put some cash down. Thanks in advance for any advice. Replies to this message: waterdr (Sep 18, 2008 7:52 pm)

Replying to: kowari (Sep 03, 2008 8:36 am) The only right you have is to not buy the car. Unless you have a signed-contract, you have no legal leverage. I would think, however, that the dealer would work with you to get you something acceptible.
#3256 of 3311 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero vs. 9-5 2.3T by ccfdad Sep 24, 2008 (6:46 am)
I am currently trying to decide between two Saabs, one a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero automatic, the other a 9-5 2.3T automatic, both with about 25k miles. I had initially been interested in the 9-3 only, but am realizing that they are virtually the same price used, and perhaps I can get "more bang for the buck" from the 9-5.   From my perspective, here are the pros and cons on the 9-5:   Pros: 4 cylinder engine = better gas mileage. I like the cooled seats, and it seems to have a bit more room.   Cons: Is it too old of a design? Is the 9-3 better engineered because it is a newer platform? Which is more reliable? Which is better in snow? The 9-5 seems to have a really dated navigation, and no XM radio due to navigation.   Also, I seem to have an option between Saab Certified through a dealer and GM Protection Plan from a non-Saab GM dealer. Do folks have thoughts on either/both?   Appreciate any input from the Saab experts in this forum. Thanks in advance! Replies to this message: floatsey09 (Sep 24, 2008 8:44 am)
