1985 SAAB 9000 CD 2.0 16v turbo
Summary:
It is quite and experience
Faults:
Basically the car is really reliable, but when a problem occurs spare parts is quite expensive. One of the problems is distributer, another is the clutch if you are street racing it might be a good idea to save up money approximately every one year. When it comes to rust it is really great, the only problem lies in the rear wing in both sides.
General Comments:
It is a turbo do I need to say more.
No seriously when the turbo kicks in it is no joke it means business, it is a explosive feeling comparing to other turbo cars with a more gently boost.
Taking in account how old the car is there is a really extensive electronic display.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

SAAB's were expensive to maintain (the price of a 9000 was equivalent to that of a BMW or Mercedes), and spare parts were inaccessible, but in return, you got a high-quality product.
For me, the SAAB's of the 1980s and 1990s were the best, both in design and innovation, especially the first generations of the 900 and 9000 (the one reviewed here).
