"Warning: Saabs are addicting and if own one once you'll never buy anything else"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The air-conditioner stopped working for a few days and just before I brought it to be repaired, it started to work.

General comments?

I love this car with all my heart. I am a meteorologist who works and studies at the Mount Washington observatory in northern New Hampshire. I live in Whitefield which is about 25 minutes from the base of the mountain. Every day rain or shine My 1986 saab hatch and I climb all 6,280 feet of very steep winding road to the top. The car has been doing this weather permitting (blizzards) every day. I have never once worried that the almost 400,000 miles would slow it down. To climb the mountain I select third gear which enables the car to climb at about 35 mph at 2500-3000 RPM depending upon grade. (10-20) degrees. Many cars are not able to climb the mountain. The other day I saw a Porsche 911 pulled over with an overheated engine.

I have a SAAB 900 Turbo convertable and I agree with everything you said, these cars are AMAZING! They are fast and drive like no other. I will own at least one SAAB for the rest of my life.

This brought a tear to my eye.
