1992 SAAB 9000 CDE review from UK and Ireland

"Superb build quality with excellent performance and creature comforts"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It jumps out of second gear, which doesn't bother me too much.

The air conditioning comes on every time I start the car.

The alternator packed up, which cost me £45 to recondition it.

The near side rear brake caliper piston corroded and seized, which cost me about £5 for a new seal kit.

The speedo drive stopped working, so I got a second hand one from the scrap yard.

It has a gearbox oil leak, which I believe is due to the box being over filled.

General comments?

I bought the car from where I work for £150, which must be the bargain of the century.

I drive the car quite conservatively now, due to high fuel consumption when driven hard.

I have a pretty good idea that my Saab is capable of 147+ miles per hour.

This is by far the best car I have ever owned, because it's so comfortable, fast, quiet and smooth. It's got everything you'd want in a car.

All the specification is standard at the moment, although I'd like to do something with the air intake, because it seems to loose it's poke as the air in the inter-cooler warms up, also I'd like to fit a remote start alarm with total closure, and maybe smoke the windows as it has been broken into once.
