Saab 93~convertible

“Born from jets”. A quote from Saab that has truly been bred in the 93 convertibles—especially in the latest model. At first glance, the signature chrome air vents have been embossed on the nose of the car, highlighting the rich heritage and inner soul of the car. The rims depend on the trim, starting from linear towards aero. The rear proudly emblazons the blue SAAB badge, surrounded by a pair of neat looking lights. On the inside, the dials light up when the unique key fob is inserted into the ignition. An array of buttons scatters the center console, but is simple, and yet functional. One such button to look for would be the Night Panel function, where all lights on the dash black out, apart from the essentials, once again incorporating the quote “born from jets”. Adjustable seats and steering wheel come standard, along with a memory function for the steering wheel, making the 93 fit for all to use. Being a Swedish car, safety is axiomatic on the 93, along with trim finish. The seats are well bolstered, and the steering wheel comes with a superb grip. At the rear, space is slightly tight, but being a convertible, who sits at the rear? With the top down or up, out on the road, the 93 makes full use of the light pressure turbo engine, and races towards any destination with ease. On tight corners, you have utter confidence, due to the handling and grip. A premium sound system exudes premium sound quality even over the rushing of the wind over your head—so that the power of GAGA and MJ can be heard!
·            Verdict: top down or up, truly a car to own…

o   Personal advice: Go for the Linear trim, if you’re simply after plain convertible charisma. If not, go for the Aero trim in order to get a punchier engine, along with bolder looks. The price is right for this European convertible, so why not?
