1982 SAAB 99 GL review from Norway
"I used to love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator was leaking.
Heating apparatus did not work.
Engine was pissing out oil.
The fourth cylinder had a bad habit of not joining the others.
Some minor electrical trouble.
Changed clutch once.
Changed ball bearings on back wheels.
General comments?
The car was a total wreck, but yet I loved it.
Comfortable suspension.
Nice handling.
The best front seats available in 1982.
I almost cried when I had to scrap it.
My current 900 doesn't have the same charm.
