Saab 9-3 Aero to a Saab Diesel?
Discussion
I’ve currently got a 2003 9-3 aero HOT. 112k and still running beautifully, interior is immaculate and external is VGC for age and mileage.
Anway, my circumstances may change and I’m looking for a car that can tow a trailer, mainly for a motorbike or two. I think my current car will get a bit too thirsty for hauling my bikes around the country although I am averaging 30-32 MPG, with mindful driving.
Now I really do enjoy my 9-3, it’s the most comfortable car I’ve had and eats up the miles.
So, do I sell the Aero and get a similar age diesel version with the same interior (heated leather, cruise control etc etc) or should I just fit a tow bar to my aero?
What tow bar for the aero?
Which version diesel?
Thanks,

After another miserable camping expedition to Silverstone for the WEC 6 hrs in 2014 I decided to buy a caravan. The next problem was should I keep my 9-5 Aero automatic or buy a sensible tow car. The caravan would only be used for weekend trips to motor racing so I decided to stick with Saab and had a towbar with a detachable swan neck tow ball fitted, not the cheapest option but the neatest.
I bought an old two berth caravan with a max weight of 1100kg and the first and only trip this year was from Lancashire to Silverstone and the consumption was 24mpg which I didn't think was bad compared with 28/29 mpg which is what I would normally expect on a run.
Without the brick like aerodynamic features of a caravan I wouldn't think a bike trailer would make too much difference to your mpg.
