1998 SAAB 9-5 S from UK and Ireland - Comments

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, except it goes through front tyres pretty quickly.

General comments?

I had a Saab Troll upgrade for the engine - superb. It now has 238bhp. The car is of a brilliant build quality and feels like it is going to last forever. I do like the colour it is in (Cosmic blue).

We are so pleased with the 9-5 we have bought another one, this time the estate - and it's just as impressive!!!

People prefer my car to their BMW 5's and MERC E's.

Stated that he'd upgraded the power to 238 BHP, but then complained about tyre wear from this front wheel drive car! What did he expect? He's obviously been using all that extra power - less throttle = less tear wear.

I don't think that this is really a valid comment to the 9-5 range in general, any front wheel drive car will eat front tyres if you drive it hard.

I don't think he was being harsh when he mentioned it ate front tyres; it didn't read like a complaint, more like a statement of fact.
