1986 SAAB 900 Turbo review from North America

"A great car for wrech heads"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Voltage regulator, starter, front wheel bearings, fuel pump prepump and driver's side seab back have broken on the car.

General comments?

So much for the list of things that "went wrong". A list of things replaced and or upgraded on this car would be a much longer list. This car, like all "Classic" 900's (1979-1993 +1994 convert), is not for the faint at heart. These are cars that require great attention to service and any relaxation of those duties can result in large if not catastrophic failures. If you are looking for a fun, good handling car that tells you how it's running not by messages on the LCD Navigation screen, but by smells and rattles. If you want an adventure in driving. If you like tinkering then this is the car for you. You can get a slow one in a small displacement base model up so modified turbos putting out in excess of 300 hp at the wheel. You can even get a convertible version, but no matter which one it will make demands of you and if you aren't interested in that then look elsewhere for your transportation needs.
