2002 Saab 9-3 SE 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

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!

Onstar problems

I am having a problem with cross talk between the onstar system and the electrical components in the car (that's what the dealer has said). My problem is not severe but a friend has such a severe problem that the car will not start. This problem is surprising since GM has been installing onstar on it's vehicles for many years.
Great Engine / so so suspension

I'm 2.5 years into my 3 year lease. Overall, I think this car is a good value compared to its price range like v6 Accords and Camrys. Very versatile with the hatch. Initial quality was good and I've had no major maintenance issues. The power is great when at full boost in 2nd and 3rd gear. Torque steer, understeer, excessive body lean, and a lack of chassis rigidity hamper this car.
