concerning the 2.1 liter engine,, it's not as smooth as the 2.0 liter....
Saab bored the 2.0 too much for the 2.1 , and shortened the piston skirts..
hence, the engine is more prone to piston slap.. sounds somewhat like a diesel especially when cold.. still a very good engine,, i've talked to many saab masters about my 1991 2.1, and they say not to worry about the growl of the piston slap... which doesn't calm my nerdy side.. i don't think it's a 300,000 mile engine, and if i had to do it over again i would certainly go with the 2.0 turbo.... i wasn't aware of the piston slap when i bought the car,, i've only owned 2.3 liter 9000's in the past... a little bit of a shock..,,, pass on the 2.1 engine... i've got 130k and it runs fine, but it's noisy and doesn't sing at rpm
