i was sorely surprised at the poor quality of my '02 Saab 93, which i leased new. i expected much more of a $30,000 "luxury car". I've had this car back to the dealer an average of once every couple months for constant nagging quality problems. Door handle snapped off, sunroof frame cracked when opening, spoiler popped off, etc. etc, etc. Not to mention the annoying rattles, creaks, & vibrations. My daughters '99 Cavalier rides more quietly. Really disappointed... I'll never own another one.
Get one before they are gone!

I got this car a few weeks ago and it is the best car for the money. It has the type of luxury and comfort that you would expect from a $40k car and the performance to match it. There aren't many left as they are clearing the inventories for the new 2003 model, so get yours now.

I have owned three convertibles but this one is the best by far. I was not in the market for a Saab, I was looking at BMW and MB and Chrylser. The BMWs styling was old and the tops come with plastic windows. The MB CLK was nice but too pricey. I test drove the Saab and loved it. It is the quickest off the line and the top is great. The car has no rattles and wind noise is nonexistent. I drove the Volvo C70 to compare and it was slower, handled less well, rattled and was noisey with the top up. The back seats are useful, unlike any other car I considered. It is a great luxury sports car and the price is reasonable.
they don't make them like they used to!

This vehicle has been a nightmare! I have been the only owner, never in an accident and there have been issues from the time it was under warranty. 2 auto windows that broke, 2 ball joints (the same one each at 50K miles), 3 electrical relay switches, head gasket that leaks, radio control display that is not readable and many other problems, on top of routine maintenance! Lemon is what I got, and Saab has lost a customer of 25 years!
