900 Convertible! I’m also looking for a weekend car and in the market for a 9-3 Convertible. But they are very rare in South Africa and owners don’t want to let them go

I have a 2000 Viggen since 2007. Every ride, every single on of them, it creates something special. A smile, a laugh, raises the heartbeat, it’s not explicable.
If a tire is a bit low, you feel it right away. If an engine strap is a bit used, you feel it. I Never had a car speaking to me so much. It develops a special relationship. Ok it’s crazy.

I’ve had a 99 Turbo, a C900 Convertible and currently own a 1988 SPG and a 2001 Viggen. I absolutely love all of them. Each has their own very unique qualities, very different from each other. I think the best approach is to own as many Saabs as you can : )

definitly->>>>>>>>>>>> Vote #1 – C900 Convertible.
Some months ago I just bought a 900 I CV 1993 (900S) with perfect body and broken engine. It is my first Saab CV. I invest money to get him running and now whe are looking every weekend for the weather to go out with oben roof. It is a dream!!

I don’t have a 900 convertible….. But I do have a 900 Aero along with a Viggen as well.

I love the 900 and it has a special place in my life, as I’ve owned it for 12 years.

But….

When I walk up to my Viggen, I say “Damn… That’s one good looking car”

When I start the Viggen I get a shiver up my spine, and I say “Damn… That’s one thunderous engine”

There’s a chemical joy that the Viggen gives my brain, and the 900 doesn’t quite have the same effect.

Get the Viggen! Or follow Jose’s advice and get a Viggen convertible and enjoy both worlds.

There’s also an easily accessible supply of stock and performance replacement parts available online for the 9-3 or Viggen… Much more so than for a 900.

Happy shopping…. Definitely Viggen / Viggen Vert

A Viggen is such a great car. Only reason I would get rid of mine would be for a lightning blue convertible.

Swade- Any chance of being able to get a higher resolution image of the Saab vs. Saab picture?

I might be a little bias here when owning a 900 turbo Convertible but one big thing of driving that particular convertible is the sound of the exhaust and that turbo engine. It is just a pure Saab sound!!! So if going for the 900 Convertible, go for the turbo…

Roberto I’m the current owner of a 2002 Viggen convertible. However, I would choose the C900 convertible over a Viggen hatchback (?). If you can find yourself a Viggen convertible, grab it! The best of both worlds!
