l drive in the snow a lot. Right now l have a jeep liberty with 4wd and it handles great. But l am looking to down size a little and the Saab 3-9 2.0t is the car that has caught my eye. l know that they have front wheel drive, but I've also read somewhere that they have rear wheel steering, is that true? How would you rate there snow handling?
Please only answer if you have had one, or have driven one in the snow. but how about the 06' 9-3 2.0t

The car you are talking about is the New Saab TURBOX, which is a 2.8 Ltr turbo, V6 XWD. It has just come on to the market and l am not sue how many people have driven it. l drove it in Sweden last year and it is something special on snow. You may also want to read the June 2008 issue of ''Automobile'' car magazine which has more details.

l read ur question & see that u r talking about a 9-3, not the Turbo X. The NEW 9-3s have excellent XWD but the 2006 has the standard FWD. It leaves a lot to be desired in the snow. It is not comparable with ur Jeep is 4WD but it is a quick little car. When it is not raining or snowing, it will be a very fun car that u will enjoy. l just would not recommend it when there r other cars available with better traction. However, it has a Winter button which optimizes the car for snowy, slippery roads. Like with all things, if u know ur car is limits & do not mess around, u wo not get stuck.
l would suggest a C320 (the V6, not the 4 cyl C240) with 4matic. It is almost the same size but with excellent traction. Mercedes' 4WD (called 4matic) is the best I've ever driven. Also consider a Subaru for comparable AWD handling. They r not as fast but they're very reliable & stick to the ground like Velcro.
