The turbos did get a 16-valve engine in '85. In '86 the 900 S got one as well, but the 900 base model remained as an 8 valve until 1989. So the car you're looking at was the last year of the 8-valve Saab. As far as transmissions go, the automatic Saabs I've driven were not nearly as good as the manuals. That may have changed with the 9-5, though, from what I hear. - Chris Virginia Tech Architecture In article <u2aHY3Vg9GA.188nopsambnews03>, vjluponopsamcom says... > >I'm kind of used to slow as I drive a diesel car right now (non-turbo). = >I >think I can put up with the lack of performance with the auto it as long = >as it doesn't detract from reliability.
