1997 SAAB 900 xs review from UK and Ireland
"A sensible choice if your budget can manage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
* Tracking arm seized
* Pollen filter blocked
* Aerial non-functioning.
General comments?
A solid, powerful vehicle. Gives a sense of security and confidence.
Not fast, but assertive when needed.
Weak points: Fuel consumption is high; Visibility (especially when parking) is poor; CD/Tape/Radio is average to poor;Handling not as good as expected.
Strong points: Seats are AMAZING; Solid build; Huge boot (trunk) ; other drivers give you respect - NOBODY wants to tangle with a SAAB because of their reputation for strength.
