1989 SAAB 9000 Turbo Talladega review from North America
"Worth the money for the performance and style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with my 9000T.
2 out of my 4 windows fell off of the track costing me 85 dollars to fix.
Needed a new battery which is pretty normal for any kind of car.
Rear speakers blew slightly making a rattling noise if I turn the bass up on the equalizer.
General comments?
This car has a lot of pep for a 205 horsepower 4 cylinder turbo engine.
The manufacturer's quote of 0-60 m.p.h. says 8.2 seconds, but I have been timed at 7.1 seconds.
The heat/air conditioning make a chirping noise whenever I press on the brake hard, it sounds like a bird almost.
The car is definitely worth the money that you would pay for it.
The twin exhaust system I put on there really makes a lot of difference to the cars' appearance.
My SAAB 9000 Talladega Turbo is all black with tinted headlights, and smoked windows.
It makes all the difference in the world when you add on a body kit and lower the springs on the 9000T.
