1998 SAAB 9-3 Turbo SE Convertible review from UK and Ireland
"Worthy of its crown as the best selling 4 seater Convertible."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Rubber seal around the bottom rear of the hood has given way to wear and tear.
Apart from that, the car is excellent for a 4 year old.
General comments?
- 185 bhp does itself some justice when over taking. There is little or no turbo lag.
- The car is quite unsettled in town in first and second gear, though its nothing that you can't get used to, particularly when you catch a glimpse of
your car (and your big smile) reflected from a shop window.
- Cabin is extremely comfortable and as an SE, it is fully loaded with the right amount of comfort aids. The trip Computer and AS2 stereo is makes for comforatble cruises on the motorway.
