2005 SAAB 9-3 Convertible review from North America
"OK, not worth $35000"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight rattles
A few trim items (fastener covers) have fallen off.
General comments?
This is my third SAAB 93 Convertible, but my first GM SAAB. This is not the same SAAB as my last ones. The corners cut since GM yook over are obvious. Small things that make a difference to me. In addition, I couldn't find a manual transmission so I settled for a 5-speed auto. I don't notice the higher horsepower.
