"If I buy another car it will be a pre 1993 SAAB 900"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Central locking malfunctions in very damp weather, but works fine in the dry.

Driver's seat flip forward lever fell off.

General comments?

This car is excellent. It is the best car I have driven. Better by far than the other family car, a newer more powerful Audi.

The ride is firm, but it keeps you in touch with the road so well & the seats are great. Handling is excellent & it is great on slippery roads.

I recommend diligent service. Go to an independent Saab expert. My expert is brilliant & so are his prices. I could pay more to run a fiesta as far as service costs go.

The car is quick, partly this is because the gearing is low. It has a lot of low revs torque. But if you drive hard you pay the price in fuel. I get 25mpg.

After 120k miles the engine is still very low on emissions.

The interior of the car looks like new. It is very durable & well styled.

I agree, I also love My Saab. I Have a Saab 900 16 valve turbo (1992) and I love it. 114k miles and still looks and works great.

I am in full agreement. This is the best car I've ever owned.

I've had my 1992 900SE Automatic for 8 years and it still drives like a dream. Not a glitch.

The seats are the most comfortable I've ever experienced.

SAAB had really got this car right.

This is the epitome of SAAB models.

I think I've got the lot of you beaten, mileage-wise: 235,000 and still pulling (not quite so) strong (it isn't a turbo or anything). Fantastic car nonetheless, however. I'll likely buy another when this one meets it's fate.
