Saab 9-3 Convertible 1.8t vector sport 2009

Never thought I would have a Saab. Just sold the wife’s 2001 SLK and bought the Saab , mainly because they had knocked 10 grand off! What a good decision. Lovely and relaxing to drive. Spec included metallic paint, leather heated seats, cruise, alloys, computer and various other nice touches. The car looks great, roof up or down (OK - better down!). A similar spec Audi A3, which looks dinky in comparison, would have been 7K more! At just over 19K, for a brand new well kitted 4 seater convertible with proper pop up rear protection (hideous A3 and Mini rear hoops) the Saab is just unbeatable.

Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.8 V6 Aero 2007

Hi all. Just brought the Saab 9.3 Cab new 08 model, having driven / owned the Nissan Silvia, Porche 911, (86, model) Volvo V70 T5, Volvo S80 T6, BMW M3, Mazda RX8, etc etc. Some of the people doing reviews obviously have never driven real cars, for me the Saab Convertible is an excellent car (I only buy top of range so the 2.8 V6 Aero). Real quality car, great options, great service intervals, speed, fuel useage and value for money. It is sad people who buy & do reviews on the lower ranges will always be negative (they can not afford to really). This is a very good car, would recommend if you want a car that can be used in all weathers and enjoyed but also will take the mick out of Ford Foucus RS’s etc but is only serviced 20k miles etc. 25mpg ave but don’t buy like many real cars if you can not afford the true costs, buy a Citreon C3, if that’s your limit. Don’t moan afterwards!!

Saab 9-3 Convertible 1.8T Vector 2006

The best bit about the 9-3 is that both my wife and I enjoy driving it. I don’t feel too "girly" in it and it’s not too big for her, yet the boot still takes the weeks shopping either up or down. Love the seats and the roof which operates easily and provides decent noise reduction when up. Easy to drive too. Ours has the convenience pack so remote roof (very posey) and electric seats. That said if we had another we’d definitely go for heated seats and upgrade the stereo as the standard one is a bit rubbish. However what alternative do we have? Only the new A3 and 1 series convertible have proper rag tops but are too small and the CLK is too pricey. These tintops are fine and all the rage but with the roof up they’re just like a normal car and with the roof down there is no boot space plus the extra weight over the rear wheels changes the driving dynamics. Facelift it is then!

Saab 9-3 Convertible Vector 2008

Have been driving my 9-3 convertible (Vector) for a couple of months now. It’s a real attraction on the roads and am pleased with my purchase so far. Very quiet with roof up and good torque.

Saab 9-3 Convertible 1.8t linear 2005

I have had this car since new and love it. My wife wants another as this ones lease runs out soon. Very practical, fast and good mpg (average 33mpg). Had a 9-5 before this and both were faultless. Get one and you won’t be disappointed. The only thing that I have noticed is the idle is a tiny bit lumpy when waiting at the lights. Not bad complaint for three years motoring.

Saab 9-3 Convertible Linear 2005

I’ve enjoyed my Saab 93 Convertible. It’s a great car both in looks and performance. I’ve only had one real problem. The roof has recently started leaking where it meets the driver side window. I’m now looking for a new car but I really don’t like the Saab’s new look. I think it’s ugly. I’ll miss the drop top but, I may buy a BMW next. I’d go back to a Saab 93 Convertible in the future, but, only if they changed the design again to a sleeker looking model because it really is a good car.

Saab 9-3 Convertible 2008

I rejected the Saab 9-3 Convertible after two months and sent it back. It had a series of electrical faults to the side lights, air bags, windows and stereo, then the engine didn’t start. The dealer and Saab said that the faults were not recorded in the car’s computer, so there were no faults to fix. How convenient! Saab are building an unreliable, cheap and nasty car and selling them for £26K. You’d be better off with a Kia Picanto for £6K - at least they start. We’ve just ordered an Audi A4 Cabriolet instead and gone with a real premium brand this time. Our other car is a Jag X-Type which is fast, economical, great to drive and utterly reliable. Would never get another Saab.

Lovely 4 seater convertible with excellent performance, economy & space. Enjoyed 18 months with my Saab. Only gave it back because my car lease expired.
