1997 SAAB 900 900SE Covertible review from North America

Within the third week of owning my car I blew a radiator hose, around 72,500 miles. This was partially my fault do to lack of general maintenance done to the car after purchasing it used, and driving in the 80+ degree weather all day long.

The passengers side seat has never functioned properly, I think it may just be a motor, but I am not too sure.

Coolant sensor drives me CRAZY! It is always dinging telling me I am low, when I am not.

I know the previous owner had to replace the convertible top, not exactly sure what the issue was, don't know if I really want to know!

Driver's side window leaks in the rain and must be opened and re-closed from passengers side in order to ensure a dry seat... hope this is just a seal issue.

I absolutely love my car! It is bright yellow and gorgeous. I love my ability to burn out off the line every time. The power and handling is perfect and yet with the top down at 60+ the wind isn't that bad!

The factory stereo system is great, it is the pre-amped 6 speaker and boy does it bump for just having the stock speakers. 6-disc CD changer in the back has its drawbacks, but is great on long trips.

The leather seats are amazingly comfortable and great on long trips. The black is hot in the summer, but the heated seats are a life, and butt, saver in the winter. There is plenty of room in the back which is surprising seeing as it is a 2dr.

For a ten year old used car I could not ask for a better car. Very few spots of rust beginning, maybe 2 if you look hard enough, and for being driven in Upstate New York in the winter this is amazing!
