The 2009 Saab 9-3 is the entry-level Saab and the smallest car in the manufacturer's lineup. In addition to the convertible, it's also available as a sedan and wagon, the latter referred to as the SportCombi. As a subsidiary of General Motors, the Saab 9-3 shares its underpinnings with vehicles like the Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura, among others. Two important features make the 9-3 stand out from its brethren: unique turbocharged engines and available all-wheel drive in sedan and SportCombi models. All-wheel drive is not available on the Saab 9-3 Convertible.




The base model 2009 Saab 9-3 Convertible costs $41,380 and is powered by a 210-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, mated either to a six speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. Opt for the $50,385 Aero Convertible model and you get a 2.8-liter turbocharged V-6 producing a respectable 280 hp, powering the front wheels through a six speed manual or automatic transmission.
