Hey! I would like some opinions on which car to take on while I'm a beginner driver, but I'll probably just get a good car to start off with since I'll be keeping it for a while. - _ - Please gimme an idea on which car to choose, and why to atleast narrow down my 4 choices..

Can anyone tell me if the Saab 9-3 sedan is worth the price? They have like an aero edition or something, but it's expensive.. I really like the saab from the Robbers drama <--Korean I don't knoe if it's the same car, but wow! So far, I'm thinking of the cr-v, saab, & the tsx? I sorta don't want the same car as my sister's.. xD

[dunpingy]

if price is not a factor, tsx seems like obvious choice to me..

[KoReAn_MiNaM_93]

i dunno.. i'm wanting to go towards getting a cr-v/saab rite now, because i do like the tsx.. but ah!!! I mean, if i have to choose between these 3, does anyone knoe if saab's are reliable for a while? I don't want the parts being all expensive and hard to get either if something happens to it. o.O

[Clix]

I haven't heard of a Saab breaking down.

I'd rank the cars you want
1. 9-3
2. Civic
3. CR-V
The TSX, I'd just rule out pricewise.

I don't know about the 9-3 since you are a beginning driver. Turbo on a FWD could have some torque steer issues.
The Hondas are the cheapest and will get you the best miles per gallon. For a beginning driver, I think those are the best.

Did a quick search and found this consumer reports article...

does not look good for the saab 9-3..

Least reliable

Vehicles listed in scoring order, starting with the worst score.

SMALL CARS: Chevrolet Cobalt, Nissan Sentra (2006), Volkswagen Jetta (5-cyl.), Chevrolet Aveo.

FAMILY CARS: Volkswagen Passat (4-cyl.)*

UPSCALE/LARGE CARS: Jaguar X-Type, Chrysler 300 (V8), Saab 9-3

I dunno.. Should I just not go for a saab anymore? ^^ My choices would probably be a saab, cr-v, & the tsx.. I just thought that before it made it on the news on a OLD saab making it alive the furthest with just a few oil changes through the way? o.o I'm not gonna try and get a civic, because my sister already has one herself. Wanna go different! xD

[BAMBAM]

just get the fastest most badass car u can get for the money.

[Kiribati]

From what I've been reading, you want the 9-3, so I'm assuming price doesn't matter.

TSX.

[erure]

Haha I love how Mercedes-Benz is totally flooding the "Least Reliable" list

Btw to the original poster, I'd say TSX also - I drive a TSX and it's my baby

[rms13]

my cousin has a 9-3 aero. It is indeed nice. His doesn't to to break down much. I'd get it if you could.

[KoReAn_MiNaM_93]

So far, I'm still trying to go for the Saab 9-3 as long as it doesn't break down at all (hopefully), atleast when it's still new.. o.o Then, I'll just probably go for the CR-V!! >.< Not intrested in the tsx as much.. haha I'll see~ BTW, How much was the drive-out price for ur cousin's 9-3 aero? I wish the 9-3 is just worth the money w/ good safety protection.

[v8subie]

make the world go around, buy a honda.

-edit- i only say that because what car manufacturer is on the top 10 list of stolen cars in the u.s.? not saying it probably won't happen to you, but anything is possible. giants winning the superbowl~! eat that patriot fans

[youngnottheold1]

go with whatever you want. it doesn't look like any advice will deter you from what you've got your heart set on..

[ZiGeNX77]

If reliability is a factor, obviously you shouldn't get the 9-3. I think the 9-3 Aero is a hot looking car, but there is more to it than that. Out of the choices, the CRV, Civic, and TSX are all reliable. The Civic is the best for a new driver because of the size.

[TheSkyX]

Saab isn't even in the same category as a TSX, CR-V or Civic.

I'd choose a Saab over the other three, because I love German made/Euro cars.
Out of the other three, I'd choose a TSX.
Civics are...boring.

[iamsars]

get a beater drive it for a few years... get 1 of these cars a little bit later... if ur truly a beginner

crash beater > crash new car

[KoReAn_MiNaM_93]

Okay u guys!! >_< Thanks so much for helping me out!!!!! I'm hoping to drive pretty soon from now, which may seem to be in a long time for ya'll, but yeah.. Cause, I've been thinking about driving ages back.. xD

[MC Muffin]

Sweet, complete lack of a price range.
