O it’s been kept, they are very pleased with the new car. It was delivered on the tow truck with just 5 miles on the clock.

Now I know its never good to feel swindled but……..Silver & black is a great combo; both our cars are & although thats by accident, its a prime choice in my book. I’d have kept it & negotiated some free servicing perhaps if you’re really cranky.

The model Annette test drove would have been a Vector Sport. This added a 6 CD changer, parking sensors painted door handles and EVO alloys. You can tell the car in the picture is a standard Vector as it has 5 spoke alloys. Very few of these were sold as all 07 Vectors were upgraded to Vector Sport level for no extra cost or else had a free Hirsch Upgrade. I went with the sport ‘cos thats what they had in stock.

It’s too big (the Saab). Oversized.

It looks to me however that the taillights look like the new MY08 9-3, whereas the MY07 9-3 are still mostly red?

Or am I just not focused on the door handles enough?

I forgot to mention, my MY03 9-5 is Merlot Red, a very classy color, but would look better with color coded handles/mirrors.

Against the silver, the black handles add some charactor. My mother just got a Honda Accord Value Package (I tried to talk her into a 9-3, but she spent $16k for it breand new!) and it is silver with black handles, and I like it.

Now, my (wife’s) MY03 9-5 Linear has black handles, and I would’ve perfered those to be color coded, but alas, I got a bargain on it too.

Thank you for all the comments, the main reason for this chat about the door handles was because she was told they came colour coded. The vector she test drove had colour coded handles. The sales man got it wrong but apart from that she is very happy with the 9-3. We have another new Saab driver.

Black door handels are especially better for ladies. There will be less scratches caused by rings. Saab thinks of everyting.
