I drive all year round topless, unless it's raining (snow is not a problem), but I do have a sheet of acrylic blocking the space between the seats. I still need to block or divert the wind around the headrests though, so some visual fluid dynamics info would help On the negative side, I have a break in a hydraulic line. I can only imagine what this is going to cost me. My heated seat died, and I had some injector problems, sometimes I think I should have just cut the top off of my Toyota Corolla (zero problems to 257,000 miles) I’d like to see a wind tunnel pic(s) or video of the cars, especially my 2005.

It is versatile brand and has some reputation among people. I am really glad to know about these facts about Saab Convertible. One of my uncle purchased 9:3 convertible in silver last year. <a href="http://www.cati.ca" rel="nofollow">trucking dispatch</a> Mostly I like it’s MPV vehicles.

Of course, there was a time a few decades ago when all the interesting convertibles were just 2-seaters, until the Saab 900 Convertible came along.   Saab convertibles have always been 4-seaters.  I’m pretty sure that’s the way with all manufacturers with modern convertibles.  The roof mechanisms and safety features take up a fair bit of room in the back, which restricts the seating to two in the back.

From the moment I had my license in hand, I have wanted a convertible. My first SAAB,  an '87 9000, began my SAAB obsession. Others I've owned were '97 9-5 sedan, 2001 9-5 Wagon. My current is a 2006 9-3 AERO convertible in Chili Red Metallic. My first day with the top down was in February, 65 & sunny--I was stopped by a State Trooper who just wanted to know if it was a fun as it looked! Purchased my convertible this past Christmas!

Totally ridiculous! And how many connections? Every one is a potential leak/failure point. I love Saabs (have 4) and think Saab 'verts are great but all the hydraulics will keep me from buying one, especially since I keep cars a long time. 85 feet of hoses in a 15 foot long car? Totally

It's near hopeless to find a convertible that seats a family with three kids... Were any of them available as a five-seater?

I remember putting the top down on my 1993 900S convertible in -2*C up in Vermont back in the mists of time and it would make all sorts of unhappy sounds in the process.
