"Reliable, well-built, quick and comfortable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

General comments?

The Saab 9-3 convertible is a sleek, stylish, quick

well-engineered car.

I have driven 10 hours non-stop & could've kept going had I not reached my destination, as this is one comfortable ride - smooth, quiet, well-controlled.

The power & acceleration is absolutely outstanding.

The handling prowess rivals Audi & even the RWD BMWs.

Interior quality and control layout is second to none, as is the overall fit & finish of the vehicle.

The folding soft top is an absolute work of art & fine engineering.

The SE features a great sound system and the weather band is a nice touch.

Contrary to what others have stated, I've found the Saab's reliability to be excellent.

Fuel economy is also remarkable- over 20mpg in town & 26-27mpg highway.

Equally important has been the wonderful dealer service.

For those looking for a well-engineered high-line convertible, and want something just a bit unique, the Saab 9-3 might be just the car.

You will be amazed at the power & handling of the 9-3.

I'm amazed at the compliments I get from strangers on my 9-3 Convertible too. They usually tell me what I already know - What a wonderful car!!!

The 2003 Saab SE convertible is probably highest quality Saab ever. No mechanical problems in sight. The value/price of this model is amazing- as a used vehicle. Saab finally "finished" the 9-3 SE in 2003, making what consumer reports shows as the highest rated Saab available. Simply an incredible machine.

I am the original reviewer - I still love my Saab, and it continues to be very reliable.
