Happy camper
I traded a 3 year old Eclipse Spyder convertible for an 'executive used' (3400 miles) 2008 9-3 2.0T - bright yellow convertible ! My Eclipse was my second and a great car - but the Saab (my first) surprises me every day. Automatic windshield washing - and running lights - (the lights turn into a right or left turn) - the seats are form fitting and very comfortable - the car holds corners at full acceleration like a dream. I'm getting about 25% better mileage than my Eclipse - 26 - 27 mpg in all kinds of driving. And it's Superbowl winning - Pittsburgh Steelers colors - what's not to like ! This is a great car, and the way I bought it - it's a great price (almost 60% of retail!)
Very impressed
I've had my Saab 9-3 for a year now and have about 10,000 miles on the odometer. This is my first Saab, and I primarily bought it for the incredible mix of performance, fuel economy, comfort/utility, and handling. I am 100% satisfied with the choice and have had zero problems with the car. I would buy again w/o hesitation. I hope Saab is around for a very long time.

Best Value on the Road
I love this car. Saab has greatly improved the ride and build quality of the car. I have owned Saab's in the past, and this one much smoother over the rough roads here in New England. Many fewer rattles and overall a much more refined experience. The best thing about this car is the balance of fuel economy and performance. I do a lot of highway driving, but I average 30 mpg. I don't understand the EPA ratings. I had a Lexus IS with the same EPA rating and never got better than 25 mpg in that. I am very happy with the Saab and highly recommend this car to anyone shopping in this segment.
Truly Surprised
We weren't even going to stop at Saab - I'm so glad we did. Twenty years of luxury cars and convertibles, and I haven't had this much fun driving since my first Miata. Traded from a Mustang GT Convertible, and ride is 1000% smoother. Wish I'd bought one years ago.
2008 Saab 9-3 Convertible, wow!
Move over Mercedes CLK 320 convertible. I've owned one and the Saab is 12k less with far more features, standard features and the most awesome driving experience you will ever have hands down. This vehicle is the very best mixture of luxury and sport I've ever encountered. Its handling is crisp, yet comfortable and eager to please. It's as if the driver is one with the car. Very simply, you put gas in it and the car takes care of itself. It monitors all essential functions, has XM radio, OnStar, remote top down, additional lighting, superior guages, 3 comfort zones and so much more. Leases included all maintenance and bumper to bumper warranty. This is positively one sweet machine.
