1993 SAAB 900 S review from North America
"An interesting automobile!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Random small repairs, certain small things failed, but it was an 11 year old car...
General comments?
The 1993 Saab, the last year before GM took over, was a fun car to own, if not drive. The interior was comfortable, but not exactly roomy, though that is to be expected in a hatchback. The car's performance was adequate around town, but the power was anemic at best on the highway, plus that, it tended to vibrate at higher speeds (60+). The car was continuously in the shop for small repairs, and it even cost $500 for a headlight assembly! However, nothing major ever went wrong with the car. Overall, it was a fun around-the-town car that got reasonable mileage with acceptable performance. It was very uncommon in North Carolina, and I often got people asking me what it was, the best one? "Is that a soviet car?"
