I have a 1995 900S and although I love it to bits, it's had it's share of problems. Annoying things like the aircond compressor, the radio, the water pump, and this little plastic gizmo in the gearbox which kept breaking and stranding me in the middle of nowhere. But it's all fixed now and all worth it. And the engine itself is beautiful, it just goes and goes. Suspension - great, body - no rust, steering - fab, etc. My partner has an old Volvo 260 and it's a sturdy reliable vehicle (doesn't break often).... but he much prefers the Saab for it's driviing experience... it's definitely the more enjoyable of the two to drive. cheers, Cathryn.
