The SAAB 9-3 (2007-11) 4DR SALOON 1.8I 122 VECTOR SPORT is a four-door, petrol-powered family saloon, offering a more distinctive alternative to mainstream used cars. In the UK market it sits among compact executive-style saloons, with a smart, understated look and a more individual feel than familiar rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. With 122bhp and a straightforward petrol engine, it suits commuting, longer journeys and small-family duties; buyers wanting a composed drive may prefer it to a hatchback. Vector Sport trim gives the 9-3 a sportier character, while its cabin and Saab design help it stand apart.
