1986 SAAB 900 Turbo review from North America
"Wicked sweet Saab"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Believe it or not this car has been absolutely faultless. Ever since I bought the car I have been bringing it to my local Saab dealer every 5,000-6,000 miles for service. I have never paid extra for the replacement of anything that was planned to be replaced in the service manual.
General comments?
Very fast
ultra reliable
red cloth seats are so comfortable
I trying to reach 1,000,000 miles.
I drive from Hanover, NH to Hartford or New York city every day and come back at night. I am in love with the old house I live in and will not leave. I have learned that to make this drive easier I go pretty fast. Usually I cruise between 90-110 mph. I have learned where the cops hide and I have been lucky so far. Because the Saab has a manual transmission I can do 110 mph at about 3400 RPM. I love this car.
