Super TestCar reviews - Saab - 9-3 - S 5-dr hatchSaab modelsSuspension9 May 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON BASED on the 900, which is based on the old Opel Vectra/Calibra, the 9-3 inherits a MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension system which is not in the top echelons of the prestige car category. Consistent efforts have been made to improve things however, such as increasing front suspension travel. Numerous changes including a faster steering ratio and new steering gear mountings made the 9-3 a better riding, better handling car. Wider standard tyres also helped. Did you know?The 9-3's replacement is not expected until 2002All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
