Faults:

Nothing apart from a squeak from the passenger seat, which was fixed at the time of servicing.

General Comments:

The car is lovely, it was brought as an import, last year. It's a real eye catcher, but is useful and practical too, unlike most convertibles which have no rear seats, or a shoe box for a boot.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Cracking 185bhp allows for very safe overtaking anywhere over 50mph - comfort and safety on the motorway making long journeys a pleasure.

Soft suspension makes for wallowing on country roads but the whir of the turbo brings a grin to your face everytime.

Deceptively big boot space, ample for weekend kit plus golf clubs.

Faults:

Absolutely nothing so far.

General Comments:

Supremely quick. Head turning looks. Very few cars on the road match its mid-range performance. A genuine pleasure to own and drive although can be a bit hairy on wet roads!

Faults:

The alarm horn short circuited within a few weeks, and I still get random messages on the computer saying 'service theft alarm'. It needed 2 new shocks at the back to 'cure' a clonking from the rear.... it didn't and it still clonks like something is loose.

General Comments:

Generally OK, disappointed with performance, particularly with the climate control on and I don't think the build quality is all it's cracked up to be. I like the car's character and I don't think there is another car in the world with such comfortable seats.

Faults:

Absolutely nothing.

General Comments:

Beautiful car, very comfortable and nice to drive. I previously owned the 900SE Convertible, which was also absolutely trouble free, but the 9-3 has many small improvements, and a welcome increase of power in the mid range.

Faults:

Virually nothing. Actually nothing at all so far.

General Comments:

Being a convertible it's a bit prone to vibration on braking or on rough roads but a very smooth car otherwise. Excellent seating, dash (including a night setting which switches off everything bar the speedo), climate control system & security system.
