1996 SAAB 900 900S review from North America
"A good convertible car with great looks and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have completely redone the front brakes (no big deal). The coolant sensor occasionally indicates low coolant when there really is no problem (also not a big deal).
General comments?
This car has tan leather interior, black cloth convertible top, metallic red exterior, woodgrain dash, CD changer and looks as good as new.
Compared to the Volvo 940 it's ride is rougher and not as comfortable. However, it is a little quicker and handles better, quicker.
Our car has the 2.3 liter 4 cylinder non-turbo. It seems to be a good engine and has been no trouble.
I don't think this car matches the quality of the Volvo 940, but it's reasonably close.
