Saab 9-3 XWD and SPT

[saab93la]

some great driving

[ll1llll2llll3llll4ll]

i love how the passenger nervously laughs hahahahahaha!

[SDCalifornia1]

Its Good Car Saab ?

[3niDougla]

SAAB FTW!! SPT ftw Just as well!! Hopefully Saab's future can be bright, lets see what Spyker can do to help

[seafurey]

I have driven Quattros for the last 20 years. But Audi have lost the plot,they only make cars for footballers wives now. And their prices would make a stone bleed. I am ordering a new 9-3 xwd this week, cant wait.

[phoenixm4]

I wish I had that job.

[Dechristendom]

GM has to die!

[cityflyguy]

Funny how this saab still makes the same bonging noise as my dads 2000 95 aero. It makes the same noise when I handbrake turn it lol. Come on Saab, get back to rally. Only ford and citroen to challenge you, and there cars are boring clones of each other (c4 and focus). konigsegg will back you up and sweden is probably the rally capital of the world. Do it saab, make us proud and take the kids hot hatch market by storm.

[wowshiqptar]

@cityflyguy there slowly shifting in AWD saab has always been FWD there is a reason for this change wait for the company to tinker around a little more and these 9-3's will be the new Wrx's.

[cityflyguy]

im so excited for saab right now. Theyve got more freedom from the dull GM bosses, theyve got a top of the range 4wd system, a great looking new 95, a hatchback for the younger market in the works and probably more besides. I also think saab should re enter WRC, they could really get that younger market and regain the glory days. ust look at all the cars that made it big because of rally, audi quattro, Cozza, 205 gti, lancer evo, Subaru impreza, Focus RS, xsara, Fabia VRS & of course Saab 900.

[SUPERFRA1]

Great Driver !!!

[tompatience]

listen. the guy in the passenger giggles non stop lol. its well funny. You hear little giggles throughout! Ha, he must have been having a great time!

[tlracing53]

that was excellent! i want 2 buy one!

how much?

[FantomLightning]

for a top of the line 9-3 with the 2.8 turbo charged engine the aero package and the XWD its over 50,000 dollars

[fvkivn]

around 2:29 it drifted like hell in the water

[bnote1990]

the driving in this is so sick

[TheJumper01]

should I buy a 03-05 Saab 9-3?

or what about the 02-05 saab 9-5?

I like the 9-3 better, its my first car so

[DrCox82]

I drive the 03-05 9-3 and if I was u I would buy the 9-5 hands down!

[TheJumper01]

how much does it cost to maintain em?

[DrCox82]

Well, now I dont know where u live and the cost it is there, but a large service interval on my 9-3 is 22 000 norwegian kroner, now thats only the big services. But the main reason I recomend the 9-5 is because it is an older saab with new trimmings. Saab always has alot of electrical malfunctions in newer models. with the 9-5 all thoose are sorted out. In my case the ESP and TCS and ABS just said stop in a middle of a steep icy road. u could say I was a "bit" arngy when it happened.... :D

[TheJumper01]

Yea, I want the 9-5, the 9-3 seems too unreliable here in the US from what people have said. Yea I'm gonna need that equipment here in my neighborhood, when theres snow here, not a lot of cars can get around nicely.

[nathan61984]

Just buy a '02 9-3. It's what I drive. No problems. Best car ever made IMHO.

[robbe34]

Best Saab ever the 4wd turbo x

[afgr173]

agreed

[elroy1985]

Agreed, I just wish I could afford one. Hell, even a ride in one during an autocross event would be great.

[BERNCHROME]

Love that car.

[wmichswingers]

So is this what becomes of ex-Swedish Air Force pilots?

[ryanrandumb]

YES!!!!!

[miggyb89]

Oh my god, that looks like so much fun! I want one.

[Formigasd87]

Saab 93 :D

ConduçaO muito boa !

[totalmalfunction]

any person from sweden (or not) who knows a good web page (a lot of cars) whit used cars in sweden?

please

[zorokakashi]

XWD eh...

GM chewed a piece of gum, Subaru it was.

and when they got all the flavor from a stick of Subaru, XWD is what they got.

no?

It about time, Saab caught up, 9-7 and 9-4 are never Saab in my book. cheap way of selling cheap cars with entry luxury name.

[snobdok]

It wasn't the Turbo X?

[zorokakashi]

Turbo X is the new 9-3 XWD

[Vee6watchman]

Superb car handling thru corners and stability. Wonder if it will beat an STi or Evo X with Saab's ability to stick to corner lines..?

[arsenalchamp]

Awesome car. Awesome vid.

[senap008]

the car have a nice sound

[raising1987]

Sweet!SAAB is becoming more kick ass all the time!Great cars!

[T4NKDRIV3RUS]

Nice sound

[supra2992]

luks madd fun

[DREWZAIRFLOWSE]

Nice video SAABS rock

[daaldestiny]

wow ur a good driver

[mustangwner2003V6]

shame you did'nt get any outside view of it going around the course, but good driving. looks like a fun vehicle.

[trymsb]

Wow!!! You drive fuckin' good! I've driven the 08 modell saab 9-3, and i love it!

[fridolon]

I own a Saab 9-3, the best car I ever owned.

[mustangwner2003V6]

Mores the Question is, what cars have you owned lol.

[marykaymorley]

Swade,

This is my favorite video. When I was first watching it I realized that it was the same track I had driven on in July when I went over for the realease of the 08 9-3 XWD.

Kevin is the most amazing driver and I loved the way you were giggling.

[Tekzoned]

wicked... saab rules

[sareze2]

ESTA BIEN VERGA ESTE VIDEO

[kiminiaitakute]

Nice vid. I love Saabs, especially the '08 9-3. I'm going to trade in my '05 9-5 for one of these.

[genco62]

my car a SAAB 9-3

[sam5parx]

Much faster than i was around the course, and didn't knock any cones over well done. Looking forward to the XWD launch, hopefully convert some Audi/BMW customers.

[SlavaHero]

shit

this driver performed outstanding skills

i wish i could drive this way

[itstricky83]

Hey Steve, ok here's what you do.. buy the first XWD Aero to land in Tassi and take me for a drive. This vid is awesome... good work.

[BadAndUgly]

That's about time they make 4 wheel drive, SAAB makes great cars, but they're front wheel drive.. The 4 wheel drive will give their nice engines justice =)

[wimpie25]

We got one too, with the onboard computer. Area 9.3 rules

[peetypablo1]

i wonder if they borrowed Subarus AWD? They've done swaps with them before

[Swade99]

No. This system is a brand new system from Haldex. Saab are the first company to use it.

[yourmomsahomo]

Sick Haldex is a good company I don't think they need anymore Saabarus

[WinkelHoof]

This is a new system from Swedish Haldex probalby the best 4WD-system in the world right now.

[sqreeze]

Not as advanced as mitsubishis AWD that they're throwing on the evo X

[marq101]

So????

[jglavin420]

The wet section is killer. Is that beeping the car saying "help! I'm sideways!"? Doesn't it know there's a rally driver at the wheel?

I have a feeling these will sell quick.

[uutorok]

Do you think some cars can do much better on the wet section than this Saab?

[jglavin420]

I think this is the best effort Saab has put forth in a while. Sure there are better cars, there always are. What's the point?

[uutorok]

Yes. But might at a higher price range, or at the cost of the performance...

[lowbudgethero]

the beeping was the driver using the ebrake, it's an idiot beep to let you know you didnt take the ebrake off

[Svantastic84]

I think it's gonna be a smash hit. A good car has gotten even better. So pleased with my 2001 SAAB 9-3 Aero, it's way older but boy what a car.. there's no car in it's pricerange who can beat it..

[harringtonmichael]

what a sound

[netashwin]

I have a Saab 93- LPT with hirsch performance upgrade, my car gives me 195 bhp at 1800 rpm and 310 NM of Torque, however as most of you have mentioned this is just too much power and torque going to the front wheal, SAAB need the XWD drive to compete with BMW. Even my 93- 2.0T can smoke BMW 325 but BMW is much better in handling. Hope the XWD will do the trick. I will need to test drive one once it is out here.

[FreeNMiami]

I'm considering a 2008 9-3 XWD SportCombi or Aero Sedan. Surely the 9-3 Aero Convertible needs the same 280hp in the lungs or even a 300hp in it's guts & the XWD system as the sneakers. Saab needs to inject some baby pay back into every model, especially the 9-3 Aero Convertible!

Hello is Saab listening, hope so?!

[leenaid]

Swade u r lucky to be in that car man!

am getting the new 9-3 aero 2008 as my 2nd car :D 1st is an alfa 147 =D

than you very much for the posting man.

[sgqrgf]

laugh says it all

[foxton555]

that new saab xwd got more grip round a corner than a ferrari or porche...wow what a superb car can't wait to test drive it

[raquettelaker2]

Aaaah!!! That's sooo cool. I can't wait until they come out. Hopefully I will have enough money.

[WinkelHoof]

Now were talking Saab! I want one 9-3 with XWD automatic gear box and a biopower engine!

[ENGranlo]

why an automatic?

[absolutinspire]

cause of the 6th gear and the "sport button" i guess... but XWD isnt avaiable por Biopower

[Vis6]

The XWD and the new engine biopower with 300 hk <3 just can't wait untill 2008/2009 =) FINALLY SAAB makes a SAAB car again!

[calinescu88]

About time the SAAB gets 4x4 wheeldrive...I have a Saab 95 and in the future I hope I can afford the new 93!

[drboboh]

dANK. finally no more wrong wheel drive.

[alej469]

Awesome driving!

[boggese]

Good control!

[Wallborg]

Seems like a great car! :)

[Newnoice]

Awsome!!!

[zakris]

I want one of those!!

[saabyurk]

Wonderful fun! Can't wait for production XWD.

[jackocean]

Nice driving!!
