The Climate Control System was a complete let down. The Air Conditioning simply would not function for more than three months at a time without needing technical attention.
Alignment needed to be constantly examined even though I always traveled on well maintained highways.
The body simply is not able to withstand Canadian winters, rust took over very quickly.
The 9000CD does not have what I would consider a refined ride. The suspension is quite tight, and as a result the car rattles and shakes a little too much.
The car is very quick because of the turbo charger, the turbo lag is manageable. Very Spacious for a car of it's size.
Don't know who did your alignment, but I own one and the alignment is impecable.
Yeah, I don't know what it is; maybe Saabs are allergic to something in the air here in Canada? But on my 9000, it seems like I'm constantly having to touch up little spots of rust here and there. The undercoating is still good (thank heavens!) but the upper body is covered in little tiny bits of rust. I'm thinking maybe I should repaint it in "Tremclad" rust paint...
