1996 SAAB 9000 CSE review from UK and Ireland
"A hugely fast and comfortable car at a sensible price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Inadequate braking system, brake discs regularly warped.
Leaking head gasket.
Several exhaust system failures.
Numerous squeaks and rattles.
General comments?
Fantastic car, huge performance at a much more competitive price than a BMW or Mercedes. My 5 speed manual would do 75mph in 2nd gear and 110mph in 3rd gear.
Superb engine, lots of torque, 323nm from 1800rpm right where you need it.
Great experience let down by a few reliability niggles.
