1996 SAAB 900 Cabriolet SE review from UK and Ireland
"A posers car that is flawed to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electric roof broke.
The fuel consumption is too high.
The cd autochanger is jammed.
The gearstick gear display keeps popping out.
General comments?
This car looks fantastic.
I have lowered it by 60mm, and have 225 16 inch profile wheels all round.
It also has colour keyed bumpers and coloured keyed front grille.
I would say it's one of the nicest Saab Cabriolets I have seen.
However to drive is another story. Every pothole I can feel and the steering shakes.
The performance is adequate, but nothing special, I have tried to race a Subaru Impreza, but it left me for dead, also a Bentley Continental R did the same, and that wasnt even a GT!
But when the roof works and it's a sunny day I can get almost any girl I want.
