1996 SAAB 9000 CS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power windows, strut bearings, computer management systems (engine), alternator, harmonic balancer, belt tensioner, motor mounts.
General comments?
Distinctive car with a very nice & large interior. Handles well & has great seats as well as a large hatch for huge cargo capabilities. This car is one of the safest on the road & the engine is a real gem.
Bottom line: finicky car that needs a lot of TLC.
