Something must be wrong with Google Image search. It wasn't until page 4 that any pictures of Saabs came up when I searched for torque steer. For comparison, there was already pictures of two different RWD cars by that point.

at least there are a ton of mazdaspeed3's and ford focus'.

WTF? That car especially. Did Eclipses come up? 02-06 Altimas?

I did the search myself. The most troubling thing is not the 9-3's lack of appearance until pg4 but the fact that there's a Jeep Compass on the prior page. I've driven those. There's not much of ANY steer.
 
Oh dear.. it's the audi-syndrome all over again (engine in front of front axle). I hope you'll never need to replace the timing belt on that one since it's between firewall and engine. BTW, how's the fuel economy? ;)
 
Not too bad, should get 25 or so around town. It's got a monster tank, though, 16 gallons.

Have to hate those forward tilting hoods...makes it so much more difficult to work in the engine compartment.

Edit: How the engine is positioned, I guess it would be easier to work on like that. Course that's how those Swedes are, always making their products so difficult to work with. :p
 
Very, very nice!

If I wasn't so worried about reliability, I'd likely have a vintage bad-ass car such as that in my driveway as well...
 
Nice purchase, Vonie. 👍

There's a few around where I live, and most of them appear to be in excellent condition too. Love their sound.
