Subject: Re: Saab 9/3 2.2 Diesel


i've got a 2001 9-3 2.2 (sept on lease) 45000km definitely not the most refined diesel and mine has consistently used 1litre of oil per 1400 miles but as long as you remember to carry a 4L can with you there isnt a problem!! average consumption 38.5mpg; 42 on long motorway drives runs fine. much more comfortable than the mercs/bmw/audis that my colleagues have. climate control isnt very sophisticated and needs lots of fiddling carrying capacity is outstanding Ray "Johan Beikes" <j.beikesnopsamdoo.nl> wrote in message news:3d863572$0$87556$8fcfb86bnopsam.wanadoo.nl... > hi Dave, > > I drive a company (lease) car, jan 2001 9/3 diesel.
