  Viggen Convertible - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By FAB - April 22 - 10:00 am

  For those looking for a "true" sport convertible with a real backseat, the Viggen should most definately be considered. The car is fast, well made, with very good space and fuel efficient to boot. I live in New England which is Saab territory, but Viggens are rarely seen on roads (I like that)Very much a 4season convertible(though,watch out for bad weather given the fat tires) & still fun to drive with top up. Also did the Flight School which was a total blast. I got a very good deal, which made my decision easy when combined with attributes of Viggen vs. competitiors (BMW, Volvo, MERC, US).

  Better than expected - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By DanS - January 17 - 10:16 pm

  I purchased my new 93 last week. I was deciding between a loaded Honda Accord and the 93. I am very happy with my decision. The Saab offers great syling and performance for about $30.00 more per month in comparible lease terms to the Accord. After owning a number of "utilitarian" type cars, the Saab 93 has made it is fun to drive again.

  Saab 9-3 SE convertible - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By Patrick Lo - November 27 - 2:00 am

  Great styling in the Saab tradition, way better than the Merc / BMW convertibles that are out there. More exclusive with better SNOB appeal. Turbo engine is fast & smooth, the Auto S function is a blast to use. Interior & exterior fit & finish are among the best in the industry. This is the last year for the current body, the new 9-3 doesnt have the traditional SAAB appeal, better get one before its over.

  SAAB: Totally Under-Rated! - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By EFenderman - November 2 - 10:00 am

  My new 9-3 Convertible is a blast to drive! I would have never guessed that a car could be so fun to drive until I test drove this car! The excelleration is "Jet smoooth"! The quality leather coachworks are top-notch. I settled on the automatic and love the the "S" mode button on the shifter. You can certainly sense the "aircraft" heritage of these fine automobiles. More people need to discover the quality and value of these cars.

  Different from the rest - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By Michelle_70 - November 2 - 10:00 am

  Excellent car. Distinguish style and lot of torque with turbo engine. Coll features like ignition key and above all if you want to be different from all the BMW 3 series and still drive something which is even better performance and handling then go for SAAB.

  Saab is my favorite - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By Zacharyzoosh - October 18 - 9:33 pm

  Ive owned about 4 9-3s, as I move a lot, and will sell my car before every move. I always buy these. They are one hundred percent reliable for me, and theyre fast. Also, I drove my most recent 2002 9-3 from WA to ID and back, and I got 35mpg on the highway for real, no joke!!! So I think they should change the average fuel economy on here. You only get 25 mpg (lowest Ive seen) when youre driving in city, using the turbo all day. I give this car an over all 9 out of 10. The only brand I like better then Saab is Lexus!

  A satisfied Saab Owner, so far! - 2002 Saab 9-3
  By 02SaabVA - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this Saab 4 days ago and already I am overflowing with praises. You will not find a better car at a better price. Believe me I looked! I bought this car at VOB Saab in Rockville, MD and they provided me with the poorest car buying experience Ive ever encountered. I do not have one good thing to say about this dealership and I suggest others to steer clear.
