Saab 9-3 Convertible (02-) 2.0t Vector 2dr review
Saab 9-3 2.0t Vector Road Test
Test date 26 August 2003
Price as tested £28,589
Since its launch in 1987 Saab’s convertible has enjoyed an image and desirability that its quality and dynamics couldn’t entirely justify. Saab was very grateful; it charged a hefty premium for the 900 and 9-3 convertible over the saloons, pricing them right alongside their better-made, better-handling BMW and Audi rivals. It still outsold them both, and sales of the soft-top propped up the old 9-3 in its dying days. Saab will simply want the new 9-3 convertible to match the old one on for sales and image, but it has stiff competition from the new Audi A4 and Mercedes CLK convertibles and the revised BMW 3 Series.
