1995 SAAB 900 SE review from North America
"Worth a Look"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headlamp wipers are fragile and break easily.
The strut mounts in this year are weak and wore out entirely before 75,000 miles.
General comments?
This is a much faster car than is generally known, and very comfortable.
Dealer repair costs are very high, but many maintenance parts are inexpensive from the aftermarket and the car is easy to work on for the do-it-yourselfer.
Handling is very good, but the stiff suspension might turn off people with bad roads.
