1997 SAAB 900 SE Convertible review from North America
"This car is reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace pulleys and belts; cost $415.00 at my local Saab Dealership
General comments?
This car is absolutely a fun car to drive.
Handles great, and very quick with the turbo charged engine. Car actually cruises better at higher speeds.
Have driven the car for 2 years with only minor repair work.
Gas mileage is usually around 20 miles per gallon, and a little more on longer highway trips.
I only drive this car for 6 months out of the year. It is in the garage the rest of the year.
As much as I love the car, if it was my only transportation I probably would sell it. When the top is up, the car is small with not much head room. Lots of outside noise from the wind, etc. windows rattle.
But as long I can just drive it in nice weather, it is a great car!
