1989 SAAB 9000 Turbo review from North America
"Wish it was American so I could understand whats going on inside.. (electrically nightmarish)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery doesn't hold charge well.
Power leak most likely.
Doesn't always like to go into reverse.
Power window motor broke.
Electrical nightmare...
Fuel gauge jumps. It will read what is actually in the tank for about two seconds then jump to empty for about two seconds.. Then back to actual reading.
Rear hatch MUST be opened from the inside of the car.
General comments?
Car is pretty quick, only because of the turbo.
Cabin does feel fairly spacious.
Runs pretty smooth for an old car.
