The SAAB 9-3 (2011-12) 4DR SALOON 1.9TTID DPF 180 EU5 AERO AUTO6 is a four-door, mid-size saloon, offering a more individual alternative to familiar executive cars from BMW, Audi and Mercedes. In the UK used market, it suits drivers wanting a comfortable, smart-looking car without following the usual premium-brand crowd. Its 180-horsepower diesel engine and six-speed automatic suit motorway journeys, commuting and long-distance travel, while the saloon layout gives passengers and luggage a separate space. The Aero version adds a sportier feel, yet this 9-3 is a choice for couples, families and drivers who value comfort over nimble city driving. mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks covering three VINs, so its figures are indicative rather than market averages. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £4,000, mileage of 138,000 and 2.2 previous keepers. For shoppers comparing this Saab with German saloons, its character and value are appealing; check condition carefully.
