1994 SAAB 900 900S review from Germany
"Well worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV Joint right side went out at 175000 miles.
Car makes grinding noises when attempting to put car in reverse. Have had it pop out of gear on numerous occasions.
Rust is bad on lower part of doors.
Slow to move away from stop, but passes in and out of risque situations like a breeze. Car is very comfortable and receives compliments from passengers.
Seats worn badly on driver's side.
General comments?
Car is wonderfully reliable. Though when repairs are necessary, they can be pricey. My previous Volkswagen was forever in the shop nearly costing car payments on a monthly basis. The Saab has fewer necessary repairs and is a much more comfortable ride. Looking forward to having it until at least 350,000 miles!!
