i'm seriously thinking about buying my-first-saab. in fact that will be my first car. the only model that i can afford at this time is saab 900 '93 or '94 (first two years of new design). the other cars that i'm thinking about are: toyota carina e, citroen xantia, honda accord. the difference is that i can get those cars 2 years younger for the same price. the common opinion about saab cars that i hear from everybody is: safe, safe, reliable, dynamic, comfortable. i realize that there are many enthusiasts here, so my question will be a different than you expect: what can you tell me against such a car? every product has some pros and cons. what i'm affraid of the most is the cost of gas and repairs of such a car - it will be for sure higher than the average price in segment that i'm interested in. best regards, t.
