Having owned 2 S60's, one of them a 2003 T5, and currently a Saab 9-3 Aero -05, I can't really decide which is "better" it all depends on what you're comparing, there are pros and cons for each.

Like the format of the video, the music and review ;) Was brought up “on” Volvos..hey Swedish brand and being from Sweden, what you’d expect? Haha! Love the cars just so sad they where so late in to the performance scene. With Polestar not really being included in the brand like Hirsch for Saab or M for BMW, AMG for Mercedes and so on...

@AutoAutopsy 5 жыл бұрын

Haha, true ;)

I agree. But, the Polestar has been severely detuned to 362hp for "mass" production. I've seen only 1 black estate on NYC streets.

@marknelson5929 Жыл бұрын

Well that was a most interesting review of sorts, I was expecting more ownership issues from the owner (from what I've heard)? These R models aside from great performance, have notorious maintenance issues, particularly with the active suspension, plus the AWD system and cracked cylinder heads unlike the non turbo engine versions? Some say they have to be handled like glass! There is a local 2003 R to me with 50,000 miles in great condition, totally stock and not thrashed. Cheers

@jamiesmith6838 5 жыл бұрын

I have to admit, this is true. X sounds better stock for stock. Another plus in favor of the X it's rarer and younger than a R. Here, in the NE I barely see 1 or 2 a yr? That, I like. I have a guy at the Swedish Connection, NJ who has his eye out for me. 🤞 However, the X isn't as sophisticated as an R. The R's were yrs ahead of the competition and they're faster. I'm still running down all 150mph wannabees! 😉 Funny, when there's rm nobody wants to step up? 🤔
