  • Saab 9-3 Turbo X review. When talking about midsize sport sedans do usual suspects like Audi Mercedes and BMW are often brought up. In this video we take a look at a very cool alternative to the main three. With only 2000 examples worldwide and 600 in the states, there’s a very slim chance you will ever see one of these.!

    hello I'm Swedish and a bit of a Saab geek. A very honest review of the car. An air filter and you can hear the turbo is just a big plus. Good video and now that the wife has seen it, I might buy one myself.

      Pozdrav Švedskoj iz Hrvatske! Koji je najpouzdaniji Saab 93 2002-2007 s benzinskim motorom? Je li 2.0t s 210 ks dobar odabir? 🇭🇷🤝🇸🇪

    I recently bought a 2009 9-3 Aero XWD, and oddly enough, they’re even more rare than the Turbo X! Great review👍

      @@Nathan_Jay I saw a few AeroX vesions online thatis found in the UK as I know only 14 of the 2.8V6 TurboX version was sold in South Africa. It seems the AeroX is a 20.T or does it come in the 2.8V6 versions too. The UK one I saw on AutoTrader was specified as a 2.0T though.

    I bought one new. Still have it. I've heard of it. Have 6 speed manual. Most fun ride. Great seats too. Interior has too much plastic and the Bose sound system sucks. Otherwise, it's my daily driver and so much fun.

    Words can't describe how much I want one. I absolutely love fast sedans. And this Saab has to be the coolest out there. The design is so manly and somehow sinister. The build quality is great. The engine and drivetrain is superb. It is so hard to find a bad thing about this car. It is a car for people who actually understand cars. The German cars are very good (M3, S4, C63) but this Saab makes them all look ordinary and boring.

    GM did what GM does best. Take a very innovative company And instead force them to do badge engineering instead of capitalizing On their innovations. One look at the saab-engineered 4 cylinder 2.0Turbo and how it performs versus all the other General Motors 4 cylinders to that point...will tell you everything you need to know about where GM screwed up.

      GM played a very large part in ruining SAAB.
      American ownership of foreign cars doesn't ever work out well.

It does 105 mph easily in 4th in a cloud of black smoke 😂looney machine. Just bought it for a work runabout for a grand. You either get 50 mph or 12 there's no inbeetween

      intercooler,550cc injectors or bigger, 3 inch full exhaust and e85 and you should be making around 380-400hp but with the regular saab aero v6 you need the 19t turbo that this turbo x came with from factory
