1986 SAAB 9000 i review from Australia and New Zealand
"Worth my $"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty high beam~had to replace the entire high beam control switch, which is also connected to the cruise control. Due to the stupid design, I had to change the entire thing, even though the cruise control was still working.
General comments?
Generally, the car was in excellent condition when I got it off the previous owner. This is the first time I got into a SAAB and I must admit that the feeling was great to say the least. The interior was spacious, the engine was good and when I sat on the drivers seat, the engine felt good, responsive and the control was excellent. I am also impressed with the fuel consumption so far, giving me good performance and good distance for very little fuel. The cruise control is an added bonus, just like the power windows, sunroof. I like my new second hand car.
