General comments?
I LOVE THIS SAAB AND WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING. IT DRIVES AMAZING AND THE TURBO IS AWSOME. VERRY PEPPY FOR A 4 CYL. I PERSONALLY LIKE DRIVING IT BETTER THAN MY 05' BMW 325Xi. eXPENSIVE TO FIX, but VERY WORTH IT! WITH OVER 190K ON IT THE ENGINE SOUNDS GREAT AND DOES NOT BURN ANY OIL! THE TRANS IS ALSO GREAT NOW THAT MY CLUTCH HAS BEEN FIXED.
