1986 SAAB 900 S review from North America
"A car that will always be there when you need it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has overall done very well over the last eightteen years.
1. New headlight switch at about 235,000 miles
2. healight blew at 167,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is incredibly reliable! I have do not think that there will ever be a more reliable car ever built. It has a solid feel and doesn't rattle one bit! I drive long distances every week and I cruise at about 95 mph in this hatchback and the car's punchy four banger it hardly trying. Red cloth seats are still perfect, and the car still shines like new. My goal is to reach 1,000,000 miles!
