1991 SAAB 900 S review from North America
"Saab is up there with the BIG boys, Mercedes, BMW, and Volvo.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has 178,000 miles on it, my mother bought it brand new in 1991, nothing has ever gone wrong with it, I was given the car a few months ago, and just fell in love with it, I've only had to get the coolant flushed, replace a brake light relay, adjust the rear brakes, and that's it, no major mechanical problems to report!
General comments?
The 900's are great near luxury cars that drive excellent, handle well, and are extremely reliable, not to mention one of the safest cars out there for it's time, and even now. Even for an old body style such as my 1991 900 S, the still shiny black paint looks every bit as classy as when it was new, and the unique body style is as relevant today as it was in 91, The car doesn't look dated at all as far as looks, I would recommend a used Saab to anyone who loves them and is thinking about one.
