Which 9-3 convertible?

[Patrick's Dad]

I'm considering getting a new 9-3 convertible for the wife and weekends.
Which is the one to go for?
Is the linear o.k or are the better spec'd models worth the extra ££
Oh, it'll be a leased car so a couple of quid per month wont kill the pig.

Oh, and are there any extras which I cant live without??

Cheers

Dave

Well, how much power you want is down to you and is obviously the biggest difference. As extras go, I would commend heated seats in a convertible (they were standard on the "old" 9-3) - they're great in cold weather

Just bought one for her indoors

went for the vector level ....so much nicer than the linear imho
also would advise the heated seats as well
if you like your music get at least the es2-7 as you can upgrade from there
buy the es1 and you are stuck at that level
the 1.8t is the best and instantly upgradeable to 200 + hp for the same money as the 2.0t...
