1996 SAAB 9000 Griffin review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic, a joy to own and drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing apart from accepted consumables.
Belts, tyres etc.
General comments?
This car is without doubt one of the finest cars ever made. It has no major faults at all. It is luxurious, economical, fast and beautifully engineered and exudes quality.
Even at 175k it sailed through the M.O.T. test without any problem. It still drives as though it has done 30k.
At all times it is a pleasure to drive and a rewarding experience. It is a great shame that the 9-5 does not come close to this car in most respects. I can't imagine ever changing this car.
