2009 Saab 9-3 Aero Turbo V6 Convertible Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[MrDreamcastx]

shame they went bankrupt

[h3h3h3h3h3100]

its ugly like vw eos lol

[KozmiicHeatLobby]

i love saab

[Awayze]

I'd rather buy a BMW or Audi, thats why they went bankrupt, prices were the same as Beamers and Mercs but those cars are better and cooler.

[Yeroc357]

@Awayze Exactly. I love saab, but if I had 40 grand to spend on a car, I would get a pretty nice equipped C Class

[RLmodel]

BMW is interested in buying SAAB. No lie, that will be very interesting to see what happens.

[GamerAndReviewer]

@RLmodel Yes, I heard too that BMW wants SAAB.

I hope it opens again soon... =)

[vasubirly]

Fiona had this car in burn notice no wonder why she got a new one lol it was a sexy car though

[megabilly0]

thumbs up for turbo

[Annihilator1111]

the transmission on the 2002-2011 Saab 9-3

Transmission

5-speed manual

6-speed manual

5-speed "sentronic" automatic

6-speed "sentronic" automatic

[BartosiuZ]

Why do you leave these hazards on? quite annoyingly flashing

[macuser575]

you would think that a dohc turbo v6 would produce at least 300hp

[JonParza]

sick cup holder

[DerAdventurer]

A true shame SAAB is gone. One of the World's best companies did not survive to the crisis, while the C*CKY chinese car makers are taking over the world.

Where are we going to....?

[Samthebam4044]

@DerAdventurer As Enouch Powell said year ago, he was I believe linking this to immigration but he said that, one day the world will be run by the yellow race. Looks if he was pretty bang on judjin by whats going on nowadays, although it's really the western governments who are to blame. They let immigrants into they're countries (britain especially) without makin sure they earned they're keep. And basiclly ruined all our industries car, steel, clothing you name it,so its britain fault really

[Kanzoi]

R.I.P

[corvettefunstudios]

why are they playing christmas music in January?

[stan14892]

@corvettefunstudios He probably filmed this during December.

[corvettefunstudios]

poor saab...had to go bankrupt. Now their going to sell it to india, china , or turkey : (

[rambodude19]

Too bad Saab was discontinued. They have a pretty sexy line of vehicles.

[Joey61337]

After 64 years, It's time to say goodbye to Saab. =(

[lalbhai01]

sportyyyyy

[iVolkswagen]

Not sure why you always mention that vehicles have the MacPherson suspension as a feature...its the most commonly used suspension in all modern cars.

[milstein91]

ugly and this shit looks like a mini in the US

[daveyboy230571]

Now that is a lovely car.......fantastic exhaust sound

[kicksoffs]

ugly ass shit

[JOR1234567899]

If I just looked at that thing from the outside I would think it was a car from the late 90's. bad styling :(

[macbookair14]

ugly AS HELL

[evanbella99]

@macbookair14 I think the back is really ugly, but I personally really like the front. It's semi-ugly.

[grifster981234567890]

christmas music

[manheap12]

Too bad there is no room in the back seats...

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

But I will say it's a shame that it's dead, because it did have history and very unique design cues.

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

Fugly.

[soxredsox]

thats the best car at that dealership lolllll

[JamesMayTheStig]

@GamerAndReviewer and of course they have the same engine dumb ass they are all subsidiaries of VW.

[JamesMayTheStig]

@GamerAndReviewer no. So according to you the Audi RS6 had a VW beetle engine. When it had a Lamborghini v10. All the engines are made by VW stop trash talking crap. Life is short so don't waste it trash talking stuff. That's why there are so many other cars in the world. You don't like one there are plenty of others to choose. Seriously just be happy that you aren't in some poor country waiting to drive a 1950s Toyota or Range Rover.

[cesar201153]

i have a saab and i love saab

[swetomboy]

SAAB WAS A SHIT CAR I KNOW FROM SWEDEN VOLVO IS MUCH BETTER

[insidertrading1]

OMG does he have to talk like that.. deliberately slow

[asghernaqvi]

@insidertrading1 shut up dude if you don't like it then leave

[charleeboi88]

All I can think is bankrupt...

[kubek555]

thank you GM for destroying Saab

[corvetteboy10]

@kubek555 Actually, if you actually knew much about Saab you would know it wasn't GM's fault for them going bankrupt. Back in the 1989, Saab was about to file for bankruptcy but GM bought them. In 2010 GM sold the Saab brand to a company called Spyker. Blame Spyker for the end of Saab. Not GM. Because with out GM, you could have said goodbye to the Saab brand in 1989.

[jex9]

@kubek555 and GM walked away with a bail out, leaving SAAB to die..

[MillionKnivesRain]

R.I.P

SAAB

[123chunhou]

If Saturn and Saab are gone sooner or later gmc and chevy will be gone

[TaylorMutts]

@123chunhou Saturn and Saab were low volume, almost niche brands. To suggest Chevrolet and GMC will go away is not logical.

[TheA7b8]

kely can i ask question the white buck in 0:24 for u or not ? because all your video i see it thanks :)

[carguy379]

@TheA7b8 yes thats his 95 roadmaster, he talks about it in one of his update vids

[screamingconch]

I'll miss saab:(



[MoopMoore2697]

I love how there's Christmas music in the background

[feelda303]

Too bad saab went bankrupt. Such beautiful cars :(

[danila193]

There are too little space back...

[2004chevybrandon1]

i have a question a auto show if a car has push button start and when you put your foot on the brake will it start

[EricDavidson17]

@2004chevybrandon1 No, because you have to have the remote key in the car. But, at the auto show I went to last year, Lexus had it set up to where you could push the button and it would turn on all the power in the car, but the engine wouldn't actually be on.

[jaybuggie12]

What are rear fog lights?!

[UnboundLegend]

@jaybuggie12 Rear fog lights are bright red rear-facing lights designed to increase the vehicle's presence in fog, snow, rain, etc.

[dennisjocks90]

@jaybuggie12 Rear fog lights are more intense red lights usefull when foggy. They aren't standard on american cars. In Europe they became standard on many cars during '80 years but you can't light them while you are driving in city.

[rootbeerfan6]

@jaybuggie12 It is a safety thing from Europe. I think that it is driver-side tail lamp next to the trunk.

[timangstrom]

@jaybuggie12 you see it at 4:36. It's basically an extra intense light bulb in the rear light that makes it easier to spot the car from behind when it's foggy. Pretty standard in Sweden (and this is a Swedish car) :)

[ratmtbola]

@timangstrom Pretty standard in every non-American car lol. Don't know why the american brands don't like rear fog lights ...

[TechFanatic555]

RIP

[DontBeSuchAHolyFool]

9:06 - 9:08 A WILD ROADMASTER HAS BEEN SPOTTED!

[2004chevybrandon1]

ok there is four buttons on the key fob unlock, lock, and the trunk button but there's another button on there as well what is it

[alliancesuxftw]

@2004chevybrandon1 It lights up the parking lights.. Aswell as the interior lights. So you can track down your car easier at night time

[Stet17]

daaaaamn, i was imagining owning one of these with a manual transmission, but the 15 mpg spoiled it D:

[JamesMayTheStig]

@ratmtbola actually it is all of GM'S fault. See spyker bought them. But gm wouldn't sell some of the rights to use some technology. So when they didn't allow to use that tech patterned by GM they went bankrupt.

[JamesMayTheStig]

@11carvids he doesn't take requests.

[Corkoth55]

engine sounds niiiice! just wish it was in a prettier car...

[superduperzipz]

RIP SAAB :(

[2004chevybrandon1]

when i saw the engine i was like DAMN

[2004chevybrandon1]

you know there's been people asking why did you sell your genesis some fucking people are stupid they should know why

[Jon3800]

looks awfully tight in that engine compartment

[vickeyok]

Nice... Special.

[Skyhawk1987Turbo]

funny they are trying to sell this car BUT the service lights on...wtf?

[Skyhawk1987Turbo]

well SAAB is no longer, so where would you take it for service?

[loganator00]

Only real thing i liked about this was the trans am in the background around 13:45

[2004chevybrandon1]

what is the mileage

[evanbella99]

@2004chevybrandon1 Why don't you watch the whole video, or just not ask questions at all?

[ratmtbola]

The only way I see Saab coming back is a big company like Toyota or VW buying them. I'd love to see the Volkswagen Group buy Saab. I think it would be a good fit. Especially since VW recently moved a little bit downmarket. Saab could then take VWs old spot - sort of in between mass market cars and premium cars.

Being one of the biggest carmakers in the world (many expect VW to be THE biggest by the end of 2012), they could just use their vast variety of parts in Saabs, paired with Saab styling.

[ratmtbola]

@GamerAndReviewer Wow really objective comment there dude ... retard.

And regarding the fact that you're Greek ... maybe you should shut your mouth when talking about bankruptcy lmao.

[ratmtbola]

@GamerAndReviewer Also, what's wrong with VW engines? They're some of the most reliable I've ever come across. And VWs don't sell good because they 'lie' (what the fuck were you thinking dude?!), they sell good because they build really good cars. And yeah, if VW buys Saab, most cars would probably be based on the Golf and Passat. So what? Two very good cars, which each rank amongst the very best in their respective classes. I don't see a problem there.

[ratmtbola]

@GamerAndReviewer What the fuck are you talking about? Notice something? All your comments get flagged as 'spam'. And that's because you write complete, senseless bullshit.

What the fuck does this have to do with 'racing cars'? Yeah right, nothing.

Fake marketing? Again, what the FUCK dude? OF COURSE VW's sister company's also use VW's engines. What's wrong with that?

And no one makes you want to believe that 'VW are the best cars in the world'.

Seriously, stop writing shit.

[GamerAndReviewer]

@ratmtbola They weren't flagged, I deleted them to write some other on them. =P

When I said "racing cars" I meant the fast cars that VW Group has like: "Lamborghini, Buggati, Porsche etc".

And I said that these companies are some of the few that they don't have VW engine on them. =P

And why VW takes so high ratings at all the reviews but the reality is different?

[ratmtbola]

@GamerAndReviewer How's the reality different? As far as I see things VW builds some of the best engines in the business, and the high ratings they get are justified.

So again, what would be wrong with using VW engines in Saabs, if VW ever bought Saab? I don't see anything wrong with that. In fact, as I said in my original comment to which you responded, I think it would be great if VW bought Saab. Who else would you want to buy them? ;)

[GamerAndReviewer]

@ratmtbola Because they won't be Saab any more... =)

The same mistake was made by GM. They made Saab to look like Vauxhall, Chevrolet etc.

[ratmtbola]

@GamerAndReviewer That's why I said 'their parts, paired with Saab styling' ;)

Also, what's wrong with the current Saabs, like the one in the video? Looks very good to me, and very Saab-like. Sure, it's based on some GM platform, but that doesn't mean that it has to look like a GM car.

[manheap12]

@ratmtbola Funny thing is Volkswagon themselves as a car manufacturer don't make many cars. The Volkswagon Automotive Group, whichs owns a ton of other car manufacturers produce the most cars collectively.

[ratmtbola]

@manheap12 First, it's called Volkswagen, not Volkswagon.

Then, of course Volkswagen also manufactures their own cars. Almost no cars are produced collectively. There sure is some sharing in parts (especially engines & transmissions) as in every big car company. But each of the manufacturers basically produces their own cars. Even Skoda and Seat in europe, which both basically just offer redesigned, slightly lower entry versions of exisiting VWs.

[seauryakumar]

Out all the brands than have been bankrupt in the past years, SAAB is the one i’m gonna miss the most. I always wanted to own one.

[breezythakid93]

mileage is poor 

[AutoLand2012]

I just saw 2 saabs yesterday one was like a 9-3 and one was i think a 9-5

[antoxin93]

Why did you pronounciation changed that much?to be honest its a bit annoying now,the way especially the way you started pronouncing exterior,interior and the way you end some sentences.if its your real pronounciation go on with it but if youre trying to do, for gods sake,please stop.

[MrTPZ98]

you should do a video on the 1990 toyota camry

[goodcar96]

impressed with the amount of options, engine, and the interior..

not really a fan of the exterior

[TorstenP1979]

What a ugly car!

[MultiTaketwo]

@TorstenP1979 indeed.

[GrandpaChink]

Unbelievable. Kyle, you have a Seminar you have to do on Tuesday and you still provide us with an incredible video. I cant tell you how much I appreciate that. Keep up the great work. BTW dont mind my username. Nickname my teacher gave me. Lol

[xtcmora]

Saab- is a swedish luxury car that went bankrupt on December 11, 2011 which was bought by GM

[xtcmora]

My mom's car is a 2011 honda civic LX Coupe and it is the MOST standard vehicle i have seen in my life! No phone, No GPS, No Heated Seats, No usb port, No seat warmers, No automatic seats, One power outlet, no compass, and it only had 2 doors and we are a family of 5.....-.- price: $15,000

[evanbella99]

@xtcmora Well your mom could have bought the sedan for $200 more... but i get what you're saying. And it's actually $17,000.

[evanbella99]

@evanbella99 Well 17 is what it's supposed to be, so i guess you got a discount or something.

[Oxyquatzal7]

How about that silver T/A at 0:26?

[ProtegeTuype]

Saab have same emblem like Scania trucks

[ClubbySuperCharged]

@ProtegeTuype Because they are. Saab produces aeroplanes and Scania for industrial equipments/engines. It's like a sister company.

[giu2085]

whats the deal with the two top comments about RIP saabkyle?????

[diecastcarcollecter]

@giu2085 It's not rip for saabkyle its for SAAB they went out of business about a month ago.

[SuBMWaru]

I've driven one of these things. Not a bad car at all. RIP SAAB, SAABKYLE04 IS THE NEW NAME OF SAAB

[MrMK94]

wow, that is a nice sounding V6!

[SubieSean]

Looks like a big pain in the ass to work on.

[daewooparts]

the car with style thats named after saabkyle !

[DrJohnBecker]

Everybody can thank Government Motors for running Saab into the ground.

[NotARealUTubeAccount]

Also, The sport button on the dash doesn't activate the paddle shifters, it activates a sportier shifting characteristic.

[crazyfooInc]

GM destroyed so many great marques with idiotic decisions; Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and now Saab. I'll never forgive the company. >_____<

[daewooparts]

@crazyfooInc they killed off "DAEWOO" too

[extremepsychogamer]

@daewooparts

daewoo still exists in korea, and plus daewoo is shit so thats not something to be sad about

[daewooparts]

@extremepsychogamer GM DAEWOO was killed off ,its just GM in korea and sold as chevy and buick in mid 2011, the older non US market woos were good the US models were shit

[bozze86]

@crazyfooInc well they have done it for years and years used the enigeneres cheap for there own winnings and then sold gm stuff expensive and sold things to saab expensive

[janckle]

@crazyfooInc Also Saturn is gone too.

[crazyfooInc]

@janckle

Ahh, that's the one I forgot. Thanks.

[evanbella99]

@janckle Yeah, but no one really liked Saturn anyways.

[Barobran92]

The right rear fog lamp was out.

[NotARealUTubeAccount]

@Barobran92 North American models never came with both fog lights enabled. Just the driverside one illuminates.

[Barobran92]

@NotARealUTubeAccount Hmm, I did not know that.

[maggio211]

Wipers are automatic rain-sensing, Kyle forgot to mention

[TheParramatic]

Do a tahoe!

[christian105]

Saab converted a 9-3 into a Cadillac because GM demanded it. That costed €300 million. A nice car but no one bought it because no europeans want to buy a Cadillac and few knew it was a Saab. Those who did, choose a Saab. GM put the loss in Saabs lap? Saab made excellent cars and I miss them! Volvo just got a bunch of engineers from Saab. Congratulations!

[SanderOfficial]

@christian105 since the GM ownership of Saab, Saab has been too much an Opel than a car with an own character. Why would anyone pay 10-20 mille extra for a car that's exactly the same as an Opel Vectra? Saab is simply not a premium car brand and cannot ask more money for its product than any other regular car manufacturer.

[christian105]

@SanderOfficial Opel has gained from it. Saab made Opel into a great car. There is no denying the fact that Saab engineers have been contributing ALOT to the GM-group. The problem is that GM seem to bite there own tail when it comes to quality. GM are always looking for the cheapest parts and when they get the lowest price they push it more. That´s how they kill themselves. But I don´t agree that Saab is that more expensive.

[ratmtbola]

@christian105 You got it the wrong way round. Saab engineers contributed VERY little to almost nothing to the GM group.

Take for example the Saab 9-5. It was based 100% on the Opel Insignia, which was released two years before the new 9-5.

And yes, Saab's actually were a lot more expensive than their competitors. That's the reason why they went bankrupt and had to be sold in the first place.

[christian105]

@ratmtbola Where do you get your info? Get it str8! 9-5 was supposed to be released in late 2008. The financial crisis came. GM sold Saab to Spyker and released the Insignia first. And yes, they share most components. But how can you say that Saab engineers didn´t contribute to GM? Mats Fägerhag, head of technical development is now going to Volvo. Congratulations Vovlo! Mats came to Saab in 1992 and have been working in Rüsselsheim for many years, developing the new platform for GM.

[christian105]

@ratmtbola The Saab factory was the most efficient GM factory in the world! In the end of the 80´s Saab was in trouble. Only two models. GM came 1990. When they left 2009: still two models. Great cars! But you need a small car aswell to make it today. So "ratmbola", you´re like any GM-executive. An ignorant hater who doesn´t want to loose face. So why won´t GM sell Saab to Youngman? They will look foolish when the chinese take over and Saab profits.

[ratmtbola]

@christian105 I'm not a hater, I liked Saabs. But you're acting like Saab builds the greatest cars in the world and is better than everything GM has to offer. That's not true. If Saab cars were so great, why did they get in financial trouble and had to be bought by GM in the first place? It's not only the lack of models, their build quality and reliability was sub-par, and the price way too high. And don't act like it's all GM's fault. It's not. For a big part, it's Saabs own fault

[PRINCE2010FEELING]

This car is beautiful , the only thing is bad is the place of the key

[christian105]

GM had the cash but no clue. Why is Daewoo Chevrolet in Europe? Why is Daewoo Buick in China? Saab wanted to make a small car but GM said no. That would compete with Opel. Ford bought Volvo. Who benefited from that? They sold cause they needed cash... Look at Toyota, VW, BMW. Saab could be there with cash AND brain.

[NattDogg01]

Love that V6 sound. I think I would have the sedan though.

[MercedesF700]

Ohh that has to be one of the greatest V6 exhaust notes ever fitted to a stock exhaust. Well done Saab.

[datpimpinboy]

@MercedesF700 I agree SO very much!!

[loger00]

Now that you've made a tour on this, you'll need to find a Volvo C70 too. ;)

[MrImacarfan]

its a beautiful car, i wonder why i dont see them on the roads anymore. :/

[WhiOnRox]

This is massive swedish style and build in austria :)

[1bentley4ever]

I would actually really like to have a car like this. :D

[Ruzic99]

RIP Saab

Thanks for all the sick ass cupholders

[1bentley4ever]

Saab had the last 100 unfinished cars on its production line crushed. :(

SAAB will be missed. Amazing how cheap you can get a 5 year old 9-3 on Craigslist.

[imallfor6900]

To bad GM fucked Saab over!

[7477238]

@imallfor6900 It's not GM that fucked Saab over. Saab was almost dead when GM acquired it, pre-GM Saab were already digging themselves into an early grave and customers didn't want to buy them. If anything GM kept them sputtering along. People need to stop with the generic comments and get some concrete facts down.

Let me guess Ford fucked over Jaguar too right?

[ratmtbola]

@7477238 Well, yeah. Saab already was fucked up when GM bought them. But then why did GM buy them? Why didn't they just build some completely new models with Cadillac and other GM parts, paired with the Saab brand and especially Saab styling. The brand could've lived on as an exotic. Maybe GM wouldn't have made much, if any, profit from it, but as long as they don't LOSE money ... Saab had a very loyal fanbase, and I'm sure that they would've sold enough cars to not lose money with Saab

[ham9608]

Can you do the 2075 Lambo... never mind you already did.

[ukraina95]

another jewel company which GM had to destroy...For that ill never buy GM cars in my life

[ZingHighFive]

im going to guess this was filmed in december? lol

[Fewwawi]

I was wondering how are you able to review lots of expensive cars by yourself?

[awesomerandomninja]

Saabs are always underappreciated in my opinion.
