The Saab 9-3 Aero convertible is a credible competitor to Audi's A4 and BMW's 3-Series ragtops. The 9-3 can't match the ride and handling balance of those German rivals, but it's also cheaper... and has a distinct character all its own.

What a nice convertible. A little pricey, but easy to enter and leave, pretty inside, plenty quick, and sweet handling. You can groan about the price, but a similar-size BMW or Mercedes with similar power will cost you even more. Looking for a classy four-place drop top? This is a nice one.
