If you’re into walking, jogging, or running, you probably shouldn’t tempt yourself with Saab 9-3 Convertible in your driveway, because you’ll want to do all your traveling via this all-new, crazy-cool car. With most convertibles the noise level with the top down is disheartening. Not so with the 9-3 Aero Convertible. This front wheel drive car has minimal wind noise – even with the soft-top stowed. A supplementary ‘ring of steel’ reinforcement linking front, rear and side structures make this a structurally firm car even when topless. On the safety side, the vehicle’s DynaCage provides protection in the event of a rollover via pop-up roll bars, seatbelt pre-tensioning, and extra-reinforced A-pillars.

The car earns accolades via a smooth shifting transmission, reactive steering, comfy seats, and ample power coiled amid a 210 horsepower, turbocharger 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine. You’ll truly appreciate the quick (about 20 seconds) top down procedure that requires only a push of a dashboard control. For trips that will require storage space, you’ll want the top up as the CargoSET (Self Expanding Trunk) system automatically provides additional space. Mile per gallon estimates are 19 city/28 highway. MSRP is $42,500. To draw extra attention to an already extremely well styled car, choose the optional $500 lime yellow metallic exterior paint.
