1996 SAAB 9000 Aero review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in sheeps clothing... Buy One!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a lot considering the mileage.
The main beam has started sticking on.
The passenger electric seat is tempremental.
The drivers heated seat has stopped working.
General comments?
The car is by far the fastest thing I have ever driven, it pulls through the gears like lightening only shuddering now and then with a bit of wheel spin or torque steer.
A friend has a Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera and no joke the Saab from 40 mph. onwards leaves the Porsche for dead!!
On the downside the gear change is a little clunky and takes a lot of care to achive a smooth change, the car needs to run at over 2000 rpm or it feels like it will stall and the main problem is that it is front wheel drive, 230bhp, 0-60 in 6 seconds through the front wheels??? Insane!!
