Saab 9-3 Convertible

Saab celebrated 20 years of convertible production in 2006. Over that period and through three generations, the concept has remained the same, offering a four-seat soft-top that can be used year round. It is the company's most desirable model, being both conservatively designed and projecting a strong sense of style. While folding hard-tops are becoming more widespread these days, the Saab's soft-top still impresses. It's fast acting, opening or closing in twenty seconds and at speeds of up to 20mph and is highly insulated and actually warmer than a metal roofed 9-3 saloon.

All models are very well equipped and feature the powered roof, climate control, telephone preparation, electric windows and mirrors, heated seats and a trip computer. Linear models feature a fabric seat covering that is actually waterproofed, while the Vector and Aero models have leather. The Aero also has larger alloy wheels, lowered suspension and a bodykit. There are various audio system options available too, starting with a single CD/radio system progressing up to full DVD-based satellite navigation with multichanger and enhanced speaker output.
