1993 SAAB 9000 CSE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Quite a lot in the last few months. Alternator belt. ECU. Ignition Control Unit. But it has done 130k and has a fairly hard life.
General comments?
A supreme (and underrated car). Long distance comfort is quite astonishing. I regularly do stints across Europe with no discomfort. Performance is a 7 only because my other car is a TVR and, frankly, the handling is pretty wayward. Overtaking ability, though, is first rate. Interior space is good and levels of equipment put Mercs et al to shame. Would recommend the Climate Control for real long distance comfort. Eats front tyres on a regular basis. In my opinion there is no other executive car that has this mixture of space and performance and true 30mpg potential.
