BMW, Mercedes and Audi produce some superb executive cars. But they also come with executive price tags. So how about a used Saab 9-3? The 9-3 saloon certainly offers an affordable option, plus a different look, a great driving experience and a comfortable journey. For petrol buyers, there's a choice of three 2.0-litre turbos, outputting 148, 173 and 207bhp. The 1.9 diesels, with 118, 148 or 180bhp, make the most sense, though. The most powerful will take you to 62mph in 8 seconds in manual form, yet still return 53mpg.
There's a stunning cabin in the used Saab 9-3 that's built around the lone executive, although it's fine for families, too. Seats are comfortable, the dash is brilliantly set out, and the seat and steering wheel adjust for the perfect driving position. In every trim, the used Saab 9-3 gives you alloys, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, parking sensors and four electric windows. For sports kit, look for the Vector Sport and range-topping Aero.
