1998 SAAB 900 review from North America
"Saabs are complete junk - stay away!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car was the worst I've have ever owned.
I've bought it with only 7,000 miles and it only lasted me with 40,000 miles.
Something wrong with the transmission stuck on the last gear.
Has electrical problems.
Check engine and gear box light was on.
This car is trash! I hate it and I will never buy another saab again.
General comments?
Saab's are expensive to own.
The "check engine/check gearbox" message came on randomly. When this happens the car goes into the last gear will barely move.
Parts are expensive to repair.
So at 40,000 miles, I got rid of the car. For less problems just go buy a Toyota and it will last the best.
Letting you know that Saab's are CRAP!
