1995 SAAB 900 SE Convertible review from North America
"Sensible extravagance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CD changer not working -- dealer replaced at no charge.
Rear seat ashtray not secure in console -- dealer replaced console at no charge.
General comments?
I was not prepared to like this car when I first stopped in at dealership, but a brief test drive quickly changed my skeptical attitude.
The car has very hefty, solid feel -- tracks true in crosswinds. V6 engine reasonably powerful (I'm used to V8's).
Cowl shake and chassis flex very minimal. All body panels & windows seat/seal perfectly (a small amount of wind noise noticable at the joint between left side windows, only objectionable because interior so quiet!).
Seats VERY comfortable -- firm & supportive without clumsy bolstering -- great for long distance motoring. Plus, I have the satisfaction of a prestige car without being flashy about it. HIGHLY recommended.
