1976 SAAB 99 GL review from North America
"One of the best cars ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The slave cylinder would go about every 25,000 miles. It was an easy fix that my dealer showed me how to do. No matter where I was, I could tell the mechanic how to change it even if he wasn't familiar with the vehicle.
General comments?
Never had anything so reliable or comfortable to drive. Could (and did) drive it all day and never get tired.
Handling and safety were top notch. The cabin was roomy and the trunk space was awesome.
