1993 SAAB 9000 CSE review from North America
"Enigmatic, stylish and fun with repair prices that are hazardous to your health"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Multitudes of things before I got it...
After I got it:
Heater core.
Direct ignition cartridge.
Shift linkage.
Climate control system unit.
Cruise control.
Alternator.
Water pump.
Tensioner pulley.
General comments?
This car is so elegant, classy and comfortable. It glides when accelerating as though it were on air. It is utterly quiet - even at high speeds.
It handles brilliantly and is entirely well -appointed. It's a little James Bond, unpretentious and I can fit my entire mountain bike in the back without dismantling it. With this car, it's not the destination - it's most certainly the drive.
As with all SAABs bystanders ponder not only the car as it passes by, but its driver as well.
