1984 SAAB 900 review from North America
"A magickal ride in a truly classic vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since purchasing the car there have been no mechanical problems.
The body has some rust over the wheel wells due to age and the paint has oxidized.
Still a neat car to look at.
General comments?
For a car 20 years old it's dynamics and general aesthetic appeal are endless.
I am a petite woman and the cabin suits me very well and is a comfortable ride for my family and friends who require more leg room.
I have never owned a vehicle that travels more safely during adverse driving conditions. I have encouraged my children to buy a Saab.
A friend who owns a 2003 Subaru, took a spin in my 1984 Saab and declared it the better vehicle!
There is uncompromising quality in this car that I have yet to find in any domestic car I have owned.
