2001 SAAB 9-5 Arc review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, but the turbo whines on back draught
traction is not the best in first gear.
General comments?
Brilliant car, plenty of power, overtakes like a dream at any speed over 15mph.
Looks fabulous
superb comfort
stands out from the crowd
climate control works well to keep the cabin cool.
