Best Car I Ever Owned

This vehicle is by far the best I've ever owned. The only things that could top it would be if it had the V6 turbo engine. It is not as common as the BMW which every other person seems to drive here, so you are more unique when on the road. Unfortunately for me, I have to sell it as I am moving overseas and left hand drive cars are not allowed there. When I return, I will pick up the latest model via the European Delivery Program so I can once again enjoy the thrill of the Saab Aero convertible. It is great to drive.

Great handling - powerful when turbo kicks in and luxurious but practical. No gimmicks, just functional, solid and safe! 2005 is deeper and longer, so at 6'5" I was very pleased to find a convertible that provided me with plenty of head room and leg room, as well as a couple of rear seats so the kids can come along on the ride. A great family convertible!

BEST CAR EVER!!!!!!!

This is the best car I've ever had! My color is Flame Red Metallic. It changes from orange to red in the light. The interior is a creme color with black inserts in the comfortable sport seats. The ReAxs suspension is very tight andoffers great steering and ride. Thecar's appearance is very low to the ground and sporty. It's not a car that you would say "Whoa, that's the 5th carlike that I've seen today" about.

Before driving the Saab 9-3, I tested the BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Acura TL, Lexus IS300, and Volvo V50. After driving the 9-3 with the manual transmision, I was sold. Most distinct personality of the group. This car deserves a test drive if you are shopping these cars.
