1998 SAAB 9-3 SE Convertible review from UK and Ireland
"Best looking convertible on the market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ongoing fault with offside suspension, especially when going over steep road humps, probably not helped by the fact the car has been lowered.
Power hood causing intermittent problems.
General comments?
Intial scuttle shake a bit unnerving, however driving a convertible is so civilised.
Acceleration is fairly good, with reasonable size cabin although possibly a bit dated.
No more noisy than other cars and purrs along motorways at a steady 80 / 90 mph.
