Newbie...well to Saab :)
Discussion
Hi all 
After many many years in Alfa's, I've finally jumped ship and bought my first Saab at the weekend, and to be honest I've not looked back
Rightly or wrongly I've never really considered one, but after a day of going to every marque I could think of in search of a new(ish) luxurious/responsive/well built/practical car to replace my old 156 I had just about given up as nothing really ticked the box's within my budget. As luck would have it though as I was driving home I dropped into the Saab dealer literally round the corner to me, and outside was the most amazing Saab I've ever seen! OK, maybe I'm exaggerating here, but it was the quickest car purchase I've ever done, from initial viewing to purchase was something like 2 hours, happy days
So, to the car....it is a 9-3 Turbo-x XWD (bit long winded name!), and I love it! So comfortable, well built, all the toys I need, and once moving is like a rocket ship. Admittedly it's not the quickest off the mark, guess due to the weight, but once you get it rolling it's fantastic!! Only downside....fuel ecomomy....average is 17mpg so far!!
My Trevor is better than that!! 
Only have a couple of pics, hoping to get some more once the weather picks up, but here's some after it's first wash and wax
Oh, and just a quick one that I love, nothing spectacular but loving the reflection in paintwork
Apologies now for the no doubt silly questions I'm going to be asking in the future
Cheers
