1993 SAAB 9000 CS review from North America
"More pics than nits, just with it was cheaper to fix"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only major failure has been the fuel pump.
The motor mounts, suspension bushings, as well as other rubber bits are showing their age. The car can hardly be blamed for this because of how old it is and how many miles are on it.
General comments?
Despite it's mileage and original suspention components this car handles very well. Pickup is OK, nothing great. However don't let the 2.3 non-turbo fool you, this car will cruise at 100+ MPH and pass up hills without much trouble.
I get around 25 MPG. mix which isn't at all bad for a car this size.
The hatch is brilliant, I can toss two adult sized mountain bikes and close it no problem.
Very well designed seats.
Parts cost a small fortune. Make eBay your friend or else!
