2005 Saab Arc Convertible, Charlotte, NC

2005 Saab 9-3 Arc 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Overall a great car and very pleased with the purchase. Test drove the BMW 3 series convertible and the Audi A4 convertible, although the performance was not as impressive, the Saab was the most fun to drive. Tons of interior room and of the three by far the most comfortable interior. With the roof up, has a true coupe feeling. I am 6'1 and with the roof up I have tons of headroom. Did not like the wood trim on the inside of the Arc model and had it changed out for the metal trim. I personally like the ride of the Arc suspension better than the Aero. The automatic is great, and the ability to shift the automatic is great for passing.

I've never been a Saab enthusiast until I saw my 9-3 with Navi. & all the ground effects & options of the V6 but with the 210 horse 4cyl. It is an awesome car to drive. I hope the reliability will be there for years to come.
Gorgeous but unreliable

Let me start with the good. The car is fabulous to drive. I have owned Mercedes, Lexus, Honda, and older Saabs in the past and this is by far the most fun car to drive. It is also more comfortable then most of my friends (they drive BMWs, Mercedes, and Lexus). Now for the bad, I have had the car less than four months and it is going in for warranty work the SEVENTH time this week. The total days spent in the shop for various build problems is over 24. Weather stripping, windows off tracks, A/C issues and leather cracks are just the beginning of the list. I have 6000 miles on it and can tell you this car only is good if it is not your only source of transportation.
Fun & isn't a "Break My Wallet" clone

My SAAB 9-3 Aero is an exciting turbo- charged sport sedan I find appealing since I enjoy cars that are more unique & exciting than just one of a bland flurry of Euro-Japanese yuppie BMW-clones. The 9-3 Aero carries-forth the SAAB tradition of providing many unique but valued features that the others haven't copied...yet...such as an instrument panel "Blackout" button, 4- wheel steering, an ignition lock between the front seats that also serves to lock both the break & gearshift levers, self-leveling xenon headlights and other subtle but cool features.
The best car ever
