1994 SAAB 9000 cse review from UK and Ireland
"The great big swede"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Anti-roll bar link snapped.
Near side rear brake caliper seized.
Offside front flexi brake hose worn through.
Exhaust middle section snapped at rear join.
Air-con not working.
Electrical fault on headlamp wash/wipe.
Noisy thrust release bearing.
Cruise control not working.
General comments?
I got this car reletivly cheap because the person who owned it never looked after it, as you can see from the long list of faults. However the 9000 is definatly worth the time and money to restore.
Even though the ride seems restless and the 2.0 ecopower engine seems somewhat gutless as you get higher up the gear box, there is just something about this car that makes you fall in love with it.
Mabey it's the exelent driving position, or the fantastic levels of equipment, or mabey it jus the fact that the Saab 9000 is a very solid and well built car cabable of phenomanal milage.
It may have issues of ride and handling and running costs but the Saab 9000 is such a good car it just does'nt matter.
