"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!!

You seems to like this car, so why you wouldn't buy another?

I believe it is possibly because he doesn't want to sell his Aero!

My dad has an Aero and it is brutally quick!

I own an aero, and it is very quick, but also the most comfortable car. With easily the best seats I have ever sat in. It is also very reliable and can be good on fuel if you like to drive like that.

I have a 1997 900 Aero, she is blisteringly quick. I have had 3 saab's, and this is by far the most beautiful, the most comfortable and easily the fastest. From the moment you hit second gear... you are pushed in to the back of those fantastic recaro seats. My aero is easily quicker than 95% of the other cars on the road. I have test driven the new 95 and indeed the 93 Aero class cars, but they are not a patch on the 9000. The 9000 Aero is a definate wolf in sheep's clothing.

I am a proud and happy owner of a '94 Black Saab 9000 aero.

What I like most about the car is:

1. Not many people know what an aero is.

2. Highly optioned (best seats I have EVER sat in for long trips).

3. Enormous luggage capacity.

4. Effortless freeway cruising.
