1997 SAAB 900 SE Talladega Sensonic review from UK and Ireland
"A prestigious performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have just noticed a metal clunking noise coming from front right suspension area. In the process of getting it checked out.
Sensonic gear-change gets tight when changing from 1st to 2nd at higher revs.
General comments?
The interior is immaculate even after 75000 miles, the leather seats are just getting worn in. Every electrical gadget works perfectly, although I am still figuring out how to work the on-board computer!
Once the turbo is up to speed this car holds it's own with many V6's and above. Brakes are excellent, discs all round.
This is a great car and not too expensive to run or insure, I am 23 and I have insured it fully comp for under £600.
