1993 SAAB 9000 Aero review from North America
"A high performance and high comfort sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo control solenoid and controller went bad. Car still runs and drives, but not with the heart-stopping acceleration it had before my turbo controller went. Overall very reliable, but little things cost a lot to fix.
General comments?
This is one seriously fast 4-door. I get looks where I go because of the color (Eucalyptus Green metallic) and the handling is superb. This car also has the greatest seats ever installed in a car. These recaro-designed seats are specific to the Aero. Overall an amazing machine, but be prepared to pay for the maintenance and repairs. The high cost of repair reflects the high ($40,000) initial price of these rare cars. Get a '94 or later if you can because they have an off-switch for the traction control.
