The Saab 9-3 is completely redesigned and reengineered for 2003. Instead of a quirky-looking hatchback, it's now a sports sedan. The front seats are fairly supportive in the Linear model but are not nearly as good as those found in the more sporty Vector model. Rear-seat passengers get generous head- and legroom considering the size of the car. The new Saab 9-3 handles well with a nicely balanced neutral feel. The steering is a little light for a sports sedan but it's not light enough to be offensive. The ride is smooth. All in all it's a car with no real quirks or foibles. If you don't mind doing your own shifting, opt for the five-speed manual transmission as it is much more fun and it gives the car a sporty edge. If you want a sports sedan you'll probably want to wait for the Vector version with the more powerful engine.
