Yep. I live in NE. Saabs are great in the Winter. I don't usually put on snow tires - but it still does fine. With reasonable new all season tires, I was able to handle a 7" unplowed storm with no difficulties (including drifts and trucks ruts/banks). BTW - I think if you measure that clearance on the 9-3, you'll find that it's more like 5". It might be a little less if you have a center muffler (no sport exhaust installed) but the rest of the car clears the ground by quite a lot.
