Weight

The Saab 9-3 sport estate 1.9 TiD 16v with a Bailey Pageant Bordeaux with an actual weight of 1321 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Saab is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (197 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Saab is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is INF%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 169 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is fairly good.
  • If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

I Messham reviewed a Saab 9-3 sport estate 1.9 TiD 16v:

"I have been towing with my Saab 9-3 1.9TiD sport estate (150bhp) for 3 years now, and it is an excellent tow car. It handles normal towing with ease and there is plenty of power to get up hills, even the 17% incline that we have to negotiate near where we live. As other reviewers have stated, there can be a problem with clutch burn when trying to reverse on a slope, but this is common on many makes of car these days. Motorway towing is a pleasure with this car and once up to 60mph the cruise control maintains the speed in sixth gear no problem at all. "
