My wife and I looked at every class of convertible from the corvette to lexus to sebring and found that the saab had the best to offer. We wanted a convertible with enough storage to go away for a weekend with golf clubs (two sets!) And we like the automatic retractable top with a glass window that has a built in boot to cover the cloth top for a nice clean look (unlike a jag). Lots of nice speed and front- wheel drive is nice too. Sticker was higher than a BMW325, but the dealer lowered the saab price about 7K and BMW wouldn't budge.
Love convertibles but lots of headaches

This is my third (and priciest) convertible and have had it for 25 months with almost 20K miles. Has been at the dealer three times this year with a check engine light problem, fuses for the convertible top had problem and recently, towed in for a bad fuel pump that leaked gallons of gasoline! While I appreciate the many gifts and apology letters from Saab, for high cost and inconvenience, will have to look elsewhere for the 4th!

Great for driving. Turbo is very powerful, although kicks in around 35MPH. Car has all the necessary luxuries pre- packages from heated seats to dual power seat adjustment to climate control to on-star gps tracking.

I love the unique look of the Saab. The dealer sales experience was wonderful. That's the good part. The reality is the dealer service is horrible, they treat you like a child. The car is not reliable, as it has left me stranded 3 times in a year. The last issue in July as a potential fire hazard. Over 1/4 tank of gas poured out of the gas tank (broken fuel line bracket to the tank). One spark and my family could have been dead. Bet you have never had a Fire Dept. Engine come out to certify your cars' safety, well I have. Dealer was very nonchalant about the issue. Saab Legal is also not accepting any responsibility to re- purchase this lemon.
Great Fun
