1995 SAAB 900 SE convertible review from North America

The other day my car told me a light was out. Someone got on the car for needing lights changed frequently; let me just say that any car with day-time running lights needs frequent headlight changes.

So far nothing but high gas prices to deal with. It gets about 27 miles per gallon with me. I've had it for a year.

The front seats are very comfy except if you are trying to fall asleep. Which I guess is good if you're the driver. One night I was trying to fall asleep, but couldn't because my neck was strained when I wasn't sitting normally.

I rely a lot on the car's brakes, which work quickly and firmly.

Handles turns nicely, though I do not endorse testing it to its limits.

As in all convertibles, you can't see much in the rear view. It is something you get used to and I've only had one close call in a parking lot.

The interior is cozy with its tinted windows, leather seats, and black soft top which I love on rainy days driving to work, and on nice days I make sure there isn't any loose paper lying around and I put the top down.

I really love the little quirks that make the Saab 900 SE an individual. With the analog clock on the dashboard it takes me a bit of extra concentration to figure the time, and I have to admit there were a few times at first when I would get in the car and move to put the key in on the steering column.
