Saab 9-3 Convertible (2003 - 2011) 1.9 TiD Linear SE (150bhp) 2d (07) (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like good, reliable cars and decent acceleration, balanced with value for money. The hood is a bit of fun on a warm sunny day.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it and think it suits me.

Yes, if they were still made. I've tried other convertibles in his price bracket which have handled poorly with the top down.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly a Civic as that would be more practical for moving the kids around.

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Stable, and not too sluggish for a diesel convertible.

What's it like to park?

Rear view is limited, but not really a problem.

Have you had any problems with the car?

It's had a few glitches, alternator burnt out, ignition switch broke, and lots of fun with warning messages that turned out to be caused by my careful driving preventing it self cleaning!

What's most practical about your car?

Boot size is good for a convertible. Can get a child seat in the back.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I had cruise added at purchase, oh and the hood of course.
