My wife hates driving, hates sedans, and doesn't like cars that are boring. When I drag her to the car shows she points and says "I like these:" while pointing to the Aston Martin DB7, Jaguar XJ8 convertible, Audi TT, and BMW Z3. I used to teach school, and none of these was coming to our driveway anytime soon. Then I pointed out a used Saab C900 that was for sale on a bulletin board at school and jokingly asked if she liked it (my favorite game, her least...). To my surprise she said yes, she really did. I panicked, this having never happened before, but quickly found this site. A little time and research led me to most of the big 900 problems (when we drove it and it was missing second gear on the automatic...) that saved us a fortune. We found a good mechanic (smart because these things make no sense to people brought up on more 'conventional' cars - who else has two types of transmission fluid at the same time?) and eventually another Saab (with all three forward gears), and she has gone crazy. She loves the car (hates the NG900s, natch), drives it everywhere, and keeps it spotless. In short, the person who I would've said would be the least likely to drive a slow red four-door sedan with the ignition key in the wrong place is now looking for a "built by trolls" bumper sticker.
