What is the difference between the Saab 9 3 & Saab 9 5

2 :)

9 3 is basically a vauxhall vectra & handles like a marshmellow in a bowl of custard the 9 5 is bigger handles a touch better & is not based on a vecta.dont buy either

The 9-3 is Saab is compact car, and the 9-5 is their midsize model.

The 9-3 is about 600 lbs lighter than a 9-5. The 9-5 has the 2.3 turbo motor & the 9-3 has the same motor with less stroke on the crank throws - IE it is a 2.0. 9-5 is the large euro sedan & the 9-3 is more of a mid-size ( it is not a compact). The 2002 & earlier cars are Swedish & the 2003+ cars have better bodies - but have the General Motors Cobalt engines are in the 9-3 while the 9-5 still have the excellent Swedish turbo intercooled turbo motors.

the bigger the number, the bigger size car. 9-5=more spacious 9-3=not so spacious
