What is a sporty sedan that is similar to a Saab 9-3?

I have had my eyes set on a Saab 9-3 for a while now but everyone says that repairs and maintenance on them is super difficult ever since they went out of business. I want to buy a car that is similar. Quick, stylish, slightly luxurious. I also don't want just an average car like a Honda Toyota etc… I'm willing to spend a little more as long as the price is reasonable. I'm also not trying to buy a 25,000 dollar car. Are there any cars that are similar?

Volvo S40 T4 variant
Volvo V70 2.4
BMW 3 Series
Audi A4.
Jaguar X-Type

Jaguar x-type, s-type or xj depending on your price range. Jags are nice and sporty yet still very luxurious

Mazda 3
Mazda 6
BMW 3 Series
Subaru WRX
Audi A4

  • List of bikes similar to honda crf but cheaper? I would get a crf 85 but they are not your moneys worth at like 2000 pounds so what other bikes can you get cheap?
  • Looking for cars similar in styling & handling to the Honda CRV? I'm shopping for cars right now, and I'm looking for a car similar in styling and handling to the Honda CRV. I like the suv cross over style and size of the CRV and like the smooth handling of most Hondas. Any suggestions for compatible make and models would be great.
  • What is the best used sporty car under $9k? I'm looking at buying a car for $9k or less after the repair bills on my old car started to add up. I want something sporty (not actually a sports car since the insurance rate will skyrocket with this category), but also want to keep fuel economy and reliability in mind. The two models I have been looking at are a 2006-2008 Mazda3 and a 2006-2008 Honda Civic Si. Are there any other car models comparable to these that are both powerful/fun-to-drive and at least relatively low-cost to own?
