Used 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero 2dr Convertible (2.8L 6cyl Turbo 6M) Consumer Reviews
Wooosh
Parts may become scarce over time. GREAT car to drive. Very peppy. Shifts smooth. Seats are very supportive. Ride was rough over uneven payment and worse over bumps. Replaced Michelin tires with Pirelli Cintarano’s and ride improved quite substantially. Would definitely buy one again. Great convertible operation

Aero Convert
I bought this car used a year ago and it has been great fun. Sporty and luxurious with lots of convenience features. A solid performer the v6 turbo packs a nice punch and the 6 speed automatic shifts better and quicker than I could, so I never feel required to use the paddle shifters. The variable valve timing really opens up the motor under full throttle as it lets out a ferocious scream. Yet quiet and extremely smooth in typical driving. And Saab stands behind the product, they did a free major repair for me even though the car was 5,000 miles past the warranty period! Massey Saab of Orlando is the best.

20 years and getting better
This is my 5th Saab. I just have driven nothing but saabs since 1980. This car is by far the best yet. I am getting 30 mpg on hte highway and the preformance is great. Remembering this is a midsize car and not a sports car. Drives and handles very well.
Gorgeous but unreliable
I chose the 9-3 convertible from 2006 based on the fact that it was *more* reliable than the 2004 and 2005 models (according to Consumer Reports). However, after barely two months driving it, I have had to take it twice to the dealership -- recent failures include the alternator and the clutch. I know that Saabs weren't the most reliable cars out there, but I'm still surprised! The beauty is the 50,000-mile warranty which turns into 1) free repairs and 2) free loaners. In the end it only costs me trips to the dealership, plus a few parts here and there. A small price to pay to drive such a beauty!
Great ride
Stylish looking sporty convertible for the money.
