The SAAB 9-3 (2002-07) 4DR SALOON 1.9 TID 150 LINEAR SPORT is a four-door diesel family saloon, offering a more distinctive alternative to mainstream used hatchbacks and saloons. Its restrained Swedish styling and roomy cabin make it a practical choice for everyday journeys, while the Sport trim adds a purposeful feel. With 167 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 91 different VINs, the model has a useful sample behind its used-car figures. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £800 and average recorded mileage of 122,000 miles; annual mileage averages 8,000. The cars checked had about 4.7 previous keepers on average, so individual histories deserve attention. The 150hp 1.9 TiD suits commuters and families wanting relaxed motorway ability and diesel economy, though age and mileage make condition important. Against rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, the Saab feels distinctive and affordable, with a characterful cabin and comfortable road manners.
