1999 SAAB 9-3 Convertible review from UK and Ireland
"A fast cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car is quick. The turbo really helps with acceleration and the engine is great for high speed cruising.
The cabin has enough room for four adults to be seated in comfort.
Wind can be a problem at high speed and I would recommend the wind shield for long distance cruising.
The car does suffer from some scuttle shake (as do all convertibles), but it is worse in the Saab than in the latest 3 Series BMW convertible.
