1986 SAAB 900 EMS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Get 900 Aero turbo instead"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Master cylinder seals worn and spring had to be replaced.
2nd set of brakes.
Clutch plate replaced.
Slave cylinder had to be replaced.
Power steering pump leak.
General comments?
Runs really smooth and quiet on the highway at speeds of 140kmh.
Needs a 98 octane fuel or an octane booster to stop the pinging in the engine.
Good safe car to drive with plenty of power on the flat, up hills it's a little sluggish at the car is very heavy.
