Awesome Summer Car

This is a VERY fun car to drive. I think the exterior style of the 9-3 Aero convertible when the top is down is an absolute beauty. This car handles very well and the turbo engine kicks in phenomenally. There is sometimes a slight delay in the automatic, but I have observed that it depends on the temperature outside. Great car hands down.

The Saab 93 Convertible is incredible! I own the Aero and the new 2.8 V6 turbo is worth the extra cash.

Fun and exciting to drive. Recently had two rather large rocks hit windshield. However, on further inspection not a mark was noticed. This car has very rapid pickup in the 70-80 mph range.

Haven't bought my Porsche because of my 2006 Saab

The 2006 Saab Aero Convertible has prevented me from buying the Porsche 911 that I want, and I will tell you why. I used to own a 1998 Porsche 911 993 Convertible and I recked it, fixed it and sold to a German friend which then shipped it back to Germany. It hurt me so much to crash my 911, that you can't imagine the pain. But I deserved it, because I was texting while driving. Do not text and drive. The only car that has been able to for-fill my loss has been the Saab 9-3 2.8L Turbo. I can afford a new Porsche if I wanted too and I put a deposit of $1000 on a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo AWD Convertible. The Dealer was asking $56,995 and I was and am pre-approved with my credit union with a great interest rate and ready to buy. I got in my Saab 2006 Aero Convertible on my way to see the Porsche that is located in Tampa, Fl and I live in Miami Fl, and got on the highway and I said to myself "I'm not selling the Saab even if I buy the Porsche". Then I realized I need to consider the Porsche after I decide to part with the Saab. So, I turned around and called the Dealership and requested my deposit back. The Dealership was awesome and understood my situation. What I'm trying to say is that the car performs almost as good as my 993 911, enough to think about it twice before I give it up. Unless I have a major mechanical issue, the Porsche can wait. I will get the Porsche 911, no doubt. But, there is no hurry! I love my Saab and I will enjoy it until it breaks. (It doesn't break) And I drive it hard.

Saab's best car yet?

This is my fourth Saab and my favorite. V6 is smooth and torquey, manual transmission light and easy to use. (Kudos to GM on the engine!) And best handling FWD car I've driven in a long time. Saab needs to upgrade the stereo. it is weak for 300W. Super supportive and comfortable seats, and a more unique convertible choice for So. California, which I like. I highly recommend this car.
