A third window in the instrument binnacle in front of the driver held further trip computer data. Every time I need a piece from the dealer, it has to be ordered and takes about two weeks to get in. Safest convertible tested in 2004 according to wikipedia. Had the dealer install it. Had to replace the motor to fix it. It has the getup and go I want. General Comments: Very good car, works just as good in winter as summer.
Good spec, very good value for money compared to other similar cars. Pros: It looks great, and the aerodynamics is great; at 140Kmh with the top down you can listen to the radio or talk as if you were driving at low speeds. . And also the felt of the interior is sort of peeling away. The car has too low a front; watch out parking it near sidewalks.
Some 9-3 Convertible exclusivities would make long-term ownership a pleasure. With the Aero you'll get a very stiff ride; too hard in my opinion. A secondary display in the centre stack was for radio and climate settings. Like the other convertibles in the class of 2004, you can drive a 9-3 Convertible through a Canadian winter with the top up with the same comfort you would experience in a cosy, tin-top coupe. The grey leather interior is comfortable and classy looking, despite some cheap hard plastics on the dash and door trims. Too many small and big problems with this car; I am always in the garage fixing minor problems, and too many tows to my garage.
The 9-3 had driving information scattered all over its interior. Viggen model down the path one had chosen was akin to wrestling a bear. At the detriment of losing the rear passenger space, there is an optional windbreaker that does an effective job of keeping expensive hairdos from unraveling. Despite the more chamfered leading edge that has been worked into the trunk lid area, the car is still recognizable as a 9-3. Fixed with a system reset. Turbo hose came out of its socket. Key remote failed to open my car numerous times, and I had to resort in opening it up with its key.
Good gas mileage, and it has been very good car for me. The seats are fabulous, very comfortable. Changed sensors in the fuel tank, about £250. To remove the separation anxiety convertible owners have traditionally suffered during the long Canadian winter, several carmakers have recently launched all-weather, four-seater convertibles. It handles the road very well.
Still looks great with over 140k. Yes Review Date: 26th September, 2018 Faults: Things that have gone wrong are very few. With a Maptun stage 1 remap it absolutely flies, especially in the mid-range; overtaking trucks on our ruler-straight highways is even easier than it was in my V8 Falcon. Yes Review Date: 12th July, 2011 Faults: My driver's seat melted, and almost burned my pants while driving when I used my seat warmers. From the windshield back, Saab has virtually built a whole new car. Yes Review Date: 2nd February, 2013 Faults: Fuel gauge gave wrong indications, common problem on the 9-3. The wiper motor did not stop working, but did lose intermittent and washer.
Too distracting, I would think, even for a fighter pilot. General Comments: This is a nice looking car, but do not let it fool you. I would not waste my time writing this review if I was not so upset. Other manufacturers who provide manumatic transmissions take note! And the remote roof opening elevates me to super hero status with my girlfriend's kids.

Unfortunately, if you account for the four-cylinder engine, less-than-Rock-of-Gibraltar chassis and inferior interior appointments, that price advantage disappears faster than a setting November sun. These machines have multilayered tops that are tauter and quieter than any previous ragtops. No Review Date: 8th July, 2011. The depreciation is huge, the car cost me + 60k Euros, brand new full specs. Saab claims a nearly 200 per cent improvement.
