1997 SAAB 9000 CSE Anniversary review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic car, I never tire of driving it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater Matrix failed - cost £250.
Washer bottle seems to have sprung a leak (not fixed it yet)
General comments?
This is the Aero engined version and is very nippy in a straight line.
However, putting 225 bhp through the front wheels can make it a bit lively in the wet.
Handling is better than you would expect from a big, heavy car.
Interior is full leather and wood and the seats are about the most comfortable I've had.
Wife complains that she slides about on the leather seats.
