Advantages: great fun, Reliable
Disadvantages: Rear visibility not great
I absolutely love my convertible - my son is often telling me I love my car more than him - but this is a little unfair - its just very close!!!!
This is the second SAAB i have owned - I traded in my 1997 900 version 2 years ago for a newer 9-3 model.
What do I love about this car -- whre to start, it is the amazing heating system that allows me to take the roof off on any sunny day in winter? (I'm not one of those convertible drivers that only seem to take the roof off when it is between 20 -22 degree (less than 20 too cold over 22 too hot - so have air con and windows up!!!) Why do some people buy convertyibles if they never take advantage of the weather!!!!
...is it the fantastic stereo that always sounds better with the roof down, volume high and the bass rattling the wing mirrors when you stop!!
...is it the acceleration and power from the 2.0 turbo engine.
...is it the credibility I gain from from my children because "Mum has a cool car"
....or maybe its just the sheer pleasure of driving, with roof down, on a sunny day (summer or winter), with stereo turned up!!
There are some downsides though - visibility isn't great out of the back, due to the roof and I do get more depressed on dull miserable days (especially in summer!!!) because I can't take the roof off!!!
Whilst they are expensive to buy they do retain there value fairly well and are sought after as a second hand car. I have had nothing go worng on my newer car and my older car in the 5 years I had it only broke down once (the week before I was due to part-ex it - perhaps it knew I was trading it in!!!) so for a ten year old car that's not too bad and it only cost me £100 to fix.
Summary: A really good fun, reiable convertible
