1991 SAAB 900 Turbo Convertible review from North America
"Stylish beauty, needs constant attention"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket at 150,000 miles.
Entire AC system over five years.
Alternator.
General comments?
This car nickels and dimes me for $1500 to $2000 every year. It's a great looking car and no finer convertible is made. It is a very low performance vehicle: the turbo is sluggish.
The car has never broken down but needs some attention every couple of months. The car has 200,000 and still runs strong. The bottom end of these engines last forever. I am still on the original turbo.
