SAAB 9-3 2007 reliability and quality

Production year from 2007 to 2010

Unfortunately, the most recent inspection data for this SAAB 9-3 is more than 10 years old, but at that time reliability was entirely high.

During regular inspections from 2009 to 2010 in average failures were found for approximately only 3.6 percents of SAAB 9-3.
The most recent data available is for 2010, when the average defect rate for a 3-year-old SAAB 9-3 was 3.1 percent, the average for a car that age was 5.1 percent. So in terms of reliability, SAAB 9-3 has performed very well, or more reliable than 90% of the other cars tested.

A good used SAAB 9-3 could be a bargain - despite its relatively high reliability, it is around 30% cheaper than the average estate cars of a similar age.
