1988 SAAB 900 S review from North America
"Fast, sporty, family fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headliner is coming apart. Doesn't idle smooth. Lacking the power it used to have. A/C doesn't work. Problem with motor mounts. Shifting is kind of rough. Dash lights do not work all the time.
General comments?
Overall I am very happy with this car when it is running properly. I have owned the car for about 4 months and have had to put over $1,500 into it. Other than having to put a good amount of money into it it is very fun to drive. It is practical for my family and sporty at the same time. One thing you must do if you own this car is get Bosch 4-way plugs for it. It makes all the difference in the world!
