I give up

2002 Saab 9-3 Viggen 2dr Convertible (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

The car definately falls short in its structural regidity (convertible only). Therefore, you are bounced all over the place on bumpy roads - honestly I feel more comfortable riding my skies on bumps than the Saab convertible. Also the general interior setting becomes enoying very quickly. There is no cetral lock, and the romote car key only works from about three (3) feet of the car - funny you would find many of us Saab owners sticking the key to our chin to make the door open or lock from ten twenty feet of the car. Having said all of this, I am going to sell this car this spring and by another German or even a Japanese car.

While I thoroughly enjoy the ride and performance, I am sorely disappointed in the interior fit and finish. From delivery, we have had seriously annoying interior clunks, rattles and the like. This car has made more noise than a 10 year old Rambler American I owned in the early 70s. Not what I expected when I paid $27k for a supposed quality vehicle.

Before purchasing the 9-3; I considered the Volvo V40, the Benz Coupe, the BMW 325, and Audi A4. I purchased the 9-3 after the test drive. Loads of power and acceleration. Top end power was a little low, but how often do you really get into triple digits? For those of us raised on GTi's in the 80s and 90s, this is a well-qualified replacement.
Saab's the one

Leased a saab 9-3 in August and I am extremely pleased with the price and performance. My previous vehicle was a BMW 740i which was flawless. However, performance was delivered with a premium price. The saab gives top performance at a reasonable price (especially with the rebate). As you would expect, the ride is not comparable (comfort wise)however, the saab is not in the same social class. Love the saab, highly recommend it.

This is my forst SAAB after driving several BMW's (All 3 series). The viggen shows a far better built an finish than the BMW. Viggen however, is not as tamed as the BMW. It requires driver attention. This car can deliver a lots of performance - but make sure that your driving is also up to the task. +
