Saab 9-3 Convertible (2003 - 2011) 2.0T Aero 2d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

There's lots of them around so it's not that individual compared to previous cars I have owned, but it looks pretty tidy and a nice looking convertible.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it, not received any negative feedback or comments.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, perhaps a slightly newer model. I've been very happy with my purchase and you get a lot of car for the money if you buy secondhand.

What are you likely to buy next?

BMW Z4.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,650

When did you buy the car?

January 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Buying privately meant I paid less than dealer price for the car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Incredibly good value for money, great level of comfort.

What was the dealer like?

I bought privately.

What's it like to drive?

It's OK round town, but really comes into it's own for motorway cruising....so smooth and comfortable. Responsive too.

What's it like to park?

Feels quite large to park and visibility out of the rear window isn't great. You need the parking sensors. Very low spoiler at the front end too so need to take car with low kerbs.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Can't fault it!

What's most practical about your car?

Reasonable sized boot space although you have to arrange any luggage so that the roof can still fold down inside the boot. Having had 2 seaters for 8 years, 4 seats felt like a real luxury! Feels robust and safe too compared with my previous 2 seater sports cars.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruse control, memory seats, fantastic sound system!
