Used 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0T 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M) Consumer Reviews
Nice Car at a discount
I just bought my Saab a week ago and in my short time I am very happy with the car. It is a bit noisy with the top up in traffic but the stereo does a good job of helping to overcome that. The engine is energetic and delivers good around-town acceleration, the transmission is slow to downshift in the standard driving mode. Visibility is ok, but the soft top does create some blind spots when up. My fuel mileage was ok for first two tanks - avg 21.5mpg with mostly city driving. I like this car, but couldn't see spending $44k for it as on the original sticker. If you get a good deal, enjoy - if not, I think the other Swede might be a bit classier for the same loot.
Tough love
Love my Saab and now the car had a total electrical meltdown for a half an hour. Then it started again. The shop ran their scAn and checked it out and cannot find a problem! This happened a week ago. Will I love it or lease it???? Update. Meltdown occurred several years ago. No problem since then . update never had the electrical problem again. The car is now 10 years old and ,with 41,000 miles runs beautifully. Just had it detailed and had to replace the top about 6 months ago($2000 ouch). still love my SAAB

Wow a 150 mph car on a budget.
Find a good place for service. Drive it enough to keep the battery charged and keep the wheels balanced and you can scoot with the top down and have a lot of fun. It's a beautiful car the quality of the car is really good, I keep it shiny and clean. I love my little Saab.

Nice car for the money
This is a really nice car and we get lot's of compliments everywhere we go. Fuel mileage is good and the rear seat is bearable for children on intermediate length trips. Speaking f trips, there is actually room for luggage in the trunk with the top down, go figure. Good job saab
Uncomfortable Seats!
Maybe I just got a lemon. The seats on this otherwise wonderfully fine convertible are HORRIBLE. I really don't know what to do and I grimace every time I'm about to get into the car. Just for this reason, I recommend nobody consider this car.
