1993 SAAB 9000 CDE notchback sedan review from North America

There have been major flaws with my 9000--even though it is almost 12 years old.

I recently became the proud owner of a 1993 Saab 9000 turbo.

I like my Saab very much. My car was a real steal--only $3000 US needed for the nicest, yet affordable Swedish sedan. When I first tried it out, the leather look almost untouched.

I really like the interior materials. You really will not find better build quality on any other car.

It has some nice acceleration and performance from its turbo, but I do get some turbo lag in return. The fuel economy is impressive, also: about 25 mpg.

Some options on my 9000 include a power moon roof, digital clock that also displays driving information, a lovely wood trim, CD/cassette player, 4 speed automatic transmission, and Saab's innovative climate control system. As you can see, you get a lot of stuff for a little price with these Saab's.

Another thing, these Saab's are built like tanks and have wonderful crash-test results.

Not only does it drive and handle well, it looks good. It looks very aerodynamic and sleek, just like the jets that Saab also builds.

It is also a lot cheaper to run than other German and Japanese imports.

Figuring it is in the condition it is at 138,000 miles, my Saab will probably go another 138,000 miles without a major problem!

My Saab works well in the varied climate in Montana. Performance is uncompromisable during all seasons.

Looks like my Swedish relatives have built another reliable novelty!
