First, I drive a '93 900TC with 126K everyday. Wish I wasn't in the winter but no choice this year. So I'm looking for a sedan to have as a winter driver/back up. I've owned 4 900s over the last 20 years and have had this one for 10. So you probably can call me a Saabaholic.
I knew the original 9-3s from GM were junk, but this is an '08 with the original 2.0T engine, not GM 2.3L. But other than that I know nothing about the 9-3SS. What should I look for? What are the problem areas? I'm also considering a '10 9-3 AWD ($20K for 8,500 mi!) but am pretty much against GM stuff (and the AWD has to be that) so it's a low possibility. I love the Aero performance but not sure the V-6 is worth the hassle. The 2.0T is about as reliable an engine as there is.
I welcome all comments.
Thanks!
Tim
