1996 SAAB 900 iS review from UK and Ireland
"A quality second hand bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The original factory fitted battery failed after 6 years!
The centre section on the exhaust failed after 5 years, the rear silencer box is shedding it's multiple skins -this looks unsightly, but is only cosmetic and does not fail the annual test.
General comments?
Very reliable.
Very safe.
A little bit different from the crowd.
Excellent build quality.
A little on the thirsty side.
A good allround family car that is practical, robust, safe with a large boot.
