:eek: damm , i never knew they made cabs back then. i thought they just started recently.

[Moe Man]

so is there a manual option for this car ?

[t-im]

Isn't based on the 90???

the interior is not anything like the A4...

..and it wasn't availible in Canada, but I have seen a few once in awhile

Basically my car with a drop top, FWD instead of AWD, and a lot slower, haha. In the sedans, Automatics were optional (except in the Sport Quattros, manual only), automatics were standard in the convertables, no manuals.

Decent car, however they are rarely found in decent shape these days.

Saab 900, 9-3 cab's arent bad...nothing spectacular though..the usual saab quirkyness but in a drop top

I think I have an old Car and Driver that compared that, an E36 cab and I think the Audi cab....

viggen is just the more powerful, sporty 9-3's

[Moe Man]

what do you guys think, audi cab 97 or 9-3 cab 99

list reasons why you like one over the other

Audi cab is kinda outdated feeling compared to the Saab 9-3..and 9-3 has tonnns more power..

have you ever driven a 9-3?????...

but....Saab..ehh..I was going to buy a 9-3 but I decided it wasn't worth it..the potential Saab problems i've read about just don't do it for me..and from people I know with Saabs..But I think that's pretty hit or miss, like with any car
