1997 SAAB 900 SE Turbo review from North America
"Every Saab I have owned has gone 225,000 miles or more; would buy again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went at 197,000 miles
Fuel Pump went at 160,000
Ignition Cassette went at 120,000.
General comments?
Fun to drive, handles nicely, very safe and solid; much more comfortable than my previous Saabs (1987 turbo). Well-engineered; lots of nice design touches. I have a great independent mechanic who keeps it honest and have found the Saab to be very reasonable to own and operate. I drive approx 35,000 miles a year.
