Fourth Time is the Charm Posted by Greg Abbott [Email] (#2746) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Greg Abbott) on Sun, 21 Aug 2005 14:24:11 In Reply to: no no no, joe E, Sun, 21 Aug 2005 12:58:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I had the chance to test drive the SportCombi with the new V6 turbo at the Saab Owners' Convention in Vermont.
The previous V6's were marketing exercises in modifying off-the-shelf GM engines. This V6 was designed with Saab's input from the start. And it shows.
Having driven a 9-5 V6 - the car didn't feel as agile or as fun as the 9-5 with the I-4. Not the case with the 2.8 V6 - it doesn't make the SportCombi feel heavy or bulky at all.
It's a new engine - reliability and repair costs are to be determined. But this V6 looks like an absolute gem to me.
