"Can't get a better car for the money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Bulb failures galore.

3 out of 4 windows quit.

The exhaust has broken numerous times.

All brake pads, rotors, and calipers have been replaced.

Had to wire the cooling fan to run all of the time due to overheating.

Speakers blow about once a month.

Electronically slow/stupid.

Broken motor mounts.

General comments?

I have put tons of money into the thing, but also had lots of help from the junkyard.

The car has never once left me stranded, even for a flat tire.

Surprisingly quick for a non-turbo 4 banger.

Can't argue with 30+ miles per gallon.

Extremely comfortable heated leather seats.

Climate control is terribly annoying with no "OFF" switch.

I got one of those great Saab 9000 Turbos.

I had the same trouble due to overheating, I just bought a new cooling fan temperature switch and that fixed the problem.

There have been very few problems, but I had to rebuild the auto-transmission.
