I own a 2010 9-3 Convertible and really enjoy it..
(Of course I also got it for half of the list price thanks to the GM "debacle" so... for $20K it's a good car! I also drive a manual transimssion and always have with my personal cars.. you can get away with a smaller engine etc if YOU control the shifting vs the "automatic" transmission and with today's gas prices the fuel savings can be significant)
My last car was also a Saab 9-3 Convertible. It had about 120K on it when the Saab dealer gave me the half price deal I currently had and the only "issue" had been with the top getting "out of sequence" which prevented it from going up or down.
