1998 SAAB 9-5 2.0 LPT review from UK and Ireland
"A nice big cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The digital display for the radio/clock only kinda works - apparently this is a well known fault. I tried to fix it based on info from various websites, the display now works properly when the car is cold, but starts losing bits when it heats up!
The front seats creak a bit.
General comments?
This is a very comfortable car, especially so after a lowered and stiffened MR2 Turbo.
The auto climate control works well and does not seem to be too heavy on petrol consumption.
Plenty of space in the boot.
