The trip control module went bad and was replaced under warranty (at about 5000 miles).
Some of the paint on the SAAB badge on the hood peeled off. (The dealer replaced it for free without even mentioning it.)
The fog lights are vulnerable to stones and the like. I've had to replace both sides at least once. A guard in front would help, but the brackets broke on one the last time (the lens is still OK).
Drawn in by the reputation of safety, sold by the comfort and performance!
This car is very sporty. It's not quite as good as a rear wheel drive for top performance, but it is fun to drive!
The stiff suspension and performance tires allow more road noise and road feel than some of its direct competitors, but that's no problem for me.
The seats are very comfortable and offer good support (though they don't match after-market seats such as Recaros).
This and the previous SAABs we've owned have all proved very reliable. The clutch on this one has even survived teaching a couple of teens how to drive a standard transmission.
This model has the vented front seats which make a huge difference when it's hot. The seat fans are a bit noisy though.
Give them a few more years and GM will have found a way to make this just as bad as their other cars.
GM is better than Saab.
Saab cars are weak and
very boring to own.
What do you mean boring? How can you get bored when you always have something to fix!!
