1986 SAAB 900 S review from North America
"Nothing will ever be better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong so far with the car Except for a burnt out headlight at about 150,00 miles. I have not had to make one unscheduled stop because of a problem.
General comments?
The car is a dream to drive. I was born in 1970. when I was sixteen in 1986 my parents helped me by the $15,000 hatchback. From when I was sixteen I have been driving this car everywhere and never wanted anything else. For fun, just recently, I raced to the car up to 115 mph without a problem. This car has everything original same tranny same everything!Luckily the headliner is still hanging on and the red cloth seats are perfect. It has no rust and still shines like new. It doesn't burn oil and runs fine. No vibrations either. My wife drives a 2002 Saab 9-5 aero and we have a 2004 9-3 convertible. my wife wanted an SUV so she also has a 2002 Range Rover. Yet I drive a 1986 Saab to work everyday. I could be driving a BMW 745Li, but I would rather stick with my childhood friend.
