2011 Saab 9-3 Turbo4 Convertible 2-Door 2.0L

Detailed item info Model OverviewThe Saab 9-3 is offered in two different body styles--a sedan or convertible. No matter which 2011 Saab 9-3 model you choose. it's powered by a 210-horsepower. 2. 0L 4-cylinder engine. The engine itself is all-aluminum. and balance shafts help keep it smooth and refined. Most Saab 9-3 models are now offered in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive XWD models. and there's a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission or 5-speed automatic (6-speed auto only for the XWD). In addition to a Haldex all-wheel drive system with multi-plate clutch. 9-3 XWD models add self-leveling shocks and ventilated rear disc brakes. Their Sentronic transmission has a manual-shift mode that allows the driver to command an upshift or downshift. The 9-3 Convertible is a true 4-person drop-top. with enough space in back for two adults and a nice. tight-fitting top. Other 9-3 models have space for five. though backseat legroom isn't quite on par with most mid-size sedans. The interior is in most iterations quite dark. yet tastefully designed. and the instrument panel has a sporty cockpit design that arcs slightly around the driver. Standard 9-3 models come about as well equipped as any entry-luxury European cars. with standard rain-sensing wipers. fog lamps. leather upholstery. power front seats. remote keyless entry. dual-zone automatic climate control and a cooled glovebox. Top Aero models upgrade to black leather sport bucket seats. carbon-fiber interior trim. chrome exhaust tips. other exterior upgrades. a limited-slip differential. a remote garage-door opener. Bluetooth connectivity. and a Bose Centerpoint premium audio system. A DVD-based navigation system is also on offer. along with an Aero Premium Package that adds memory seat settings. rear park assist. heated side mirrors. and folding. light-sensitive mirrors. The 9-3 also lives up to Saab's reputation for safety. with active front head restraints. electronic stability control. 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. front side airbags. and side-curtain airbags for outboard occupants.
