Solid bullet proof reliable cars.

Would I be mistaken in suggesting that most cars handle poorly in comparison to a ZS?

Yes if your comparing a hot hatch for example...

But at the same time the ZS and Saabs are complete opposites...

One is a motorway cruiser that wallows along in good comfort, the other is a back lane whore which you don't tell your mates about :)

depends on the year, of the saab 9-3 think the 1.8t only comes after 2003, but not sure, having owned a mk1 180, the earlier 9-3 2l, and the later 9-3 2.2 tid i'd swap the zs for saab ( if its the later version) but if your not ready for growing up i'd stick with the zs, If my circumstances were different i'd of got another zs, but thats just life lol.

Saabs are also extortionate to work on/fix/maintain although most parts can be sourced from a vauxhall dealer cheaper, not tha tmg parts are becoming any cheaper.

Both cars are riddled with faults too.

All depends on what your looking for in a car.
