I have had a 99 and my current car is a 900T 16V, its well worth the up-grade, mine has a leather interior, which is incredibly comfy, especially when the bum warmers switch on, I have had one with a beige cloth interior, which was ALMOST as comfy. Go for it! TheoMar wrote in message <37E87F07.49A2D6D0nopsamknet.nl>... >Hi, >I own a 1983 Saab 99 GL 5 speed for about 51/2 years now.
