A new in-dash DVD-based navigation system is added to the options list. The 9-3 convertible is now available in entry-level Linear trim.

Pros:
  • Handles well for a front-drive car, frugal yet powerful engines, generous passenger room, class-leading trunk space.
Cons:
  • Suspension should be stiffer on Aero models, ride can be harsh over bumps, interiors lack upscale look and feel, weak stereos.

    This is the second Saab Ive owned. Once you own one of these things you will never let go. Everyone who sits in it is blown away. Id take it in a heart beat over all of its competitors, 300c, Audi A4, Volvo s40, this car is way more fun to drive than anything else out there. Until my first time driving this car I had never seen a smile on someones face from driving, or riding in a car before. Now I grin every time I sit in my car, and so does everyone else, literally.

    Beautiful, fun to drive, excellent acceleration, handles very well. Great stereo. Surely the most beautiful of the 4-seater convertibles. Excellent safety ratings. Stands out from the dime-a-dozen convertibles out there.

    Excellent car and fun to drive, you really stand out from the crowd in this car.

  • My First Convertible - 2005 Saab 9-3

    Briefly, this is a well-built car with a great fit and finish. The trunk will hold 2 golf bags with the top up and 4 passengers comfortably. Along with its 5 star safety rating, convenient controls and good looks, what else would you want in a convertible?

  • I love my Saab! - 2005 Saab 9-3

    I have nothing but positive things to say about this car. It is reliable, and great fun to drive. For years, I drove nice GM cars, and although SAAB is a GM brand, it by far superior to any I have owned. I get great miliage, and these days that is quite important.

    Throttle response especially at low rpm is amazing, handling and braking is also most most impressive. Communting fuel economy often is 30 mpg plus.

  • Great, fun car - 2005 Saab 9-3

    Great car, from the service at the dealership to its scheduled maintenance. Ive only had one problem and it was with the emergency brake. The dealership towed it for free and fixed it over night. They even provided me with a Saab loaner car. The car is quite quick for its price range and is always fun to drive, especially on open, twisty roads (saab fixed torque steer!). The cars interior seems complex at first, but becomes easy to use after 10 minutes. Next to BMWs iDrive, this is like coloring in the lines. The tall stack design of the cockpit makes you think youre in an airplane, which sometimes brings you to the speed of one...minus 1 mach level of course. Outstanding car.

    This is a wonderful car. It is safe and fun to drive- not 2 characteristics that usually come hand in hand with a sedan. I love the design and it handles well in winters of Buffalo!
