1972 SAAB Sonett review from North America
"A blast to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust system.
Fiberglass body lasted, but the underside completely rusted out. Had to sell the car for parts.
General comments?
The best handling car I have ever driven. It had a low drag coefficient, got great mileage (40 MPG on the highway). It was like driving a motorcycle on rails. I could take a turn at twice the limit that the road signs recommended.
