1987 SAAB 900 S review from North America
"Dollar for dollar it is a spectacular car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to fix some minor rust spots on the front edge of the hood.
The front right speaker blew and had to be replaced.
General comments?
This car handles great and has nice brakes.
It's acceleration is poor off the line, but gets a lot better at 40-60 mph.
The seats are comfortable for long highway drives, and offer lateral support for driving fast.
Great gas mileage around town.
The shifter is a little rough on downshifts.
