1985 SAAB 90 review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch needed to be changed.
Radiator leaked.
Minor faults with instrumentation.
Headlamp washers don't work, but I'm not too bothered about that.
General comments?
This is a superbly styled and excellent looking car. It is also very rare (perhaps not so good as spared are hard to find. The performance (105 and over mph) is excellent for its age.
The car is in very good condition both inside and out. The interior is comfortable and spacious, although the fake wood capping leaves something to be desired.
Whenever I go out in it it leaves a smile on my face; it's really nice to drive and performance is (as I have already said) excellent.
The car is not economic (28 mpg), but it was very cheap to buy (£650) and is generally a brilliant all-round vehicle.
