Product Overview

Saab 9-3 Coupe (chassis code YS3D) is a compact executive coupe in production from 1998 to 2002. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 2.0 to 2.3 liters.
Based on the Mk1 Saab 9-3 sedan, the Hatchback had a similar design but is set up to be more sporty. As expected, the 9-3 Coupe came with many turbocharged engines that were rather ahead of it time. Unfortunately, this meant that the rather small (for the time) engines were highly stressed, and these gorgeous cars weren't very reliable.
