after posting this i bet the saab will blow up.....
anyhow ,85,000 miles and minor but reocuring problems such as
headlite wiper out .
headlites out had to re solder the orange fuse
lost one cooling fan on a hot day but jumped the system and got home
engine lite on for last 30,000 miles
replacing exhaust in a week due to rust
new ecu twice
brakes done twice
dealers rip you off BIG TIME same as other marques
flooded rear floor area due to clogged a/c system but fixed by blowing air into the underside of car a/c water outlest
on the plus side -great driving experience
32 mpg at hiway speeds ave 79 mph with 85 to 95 for 20 minutes at a time and 80 mph most of the time on 1500 mile trips with a range of 600 miles .
great roadholding at 125 mph with no drama and secure feeling .
love the car and drive it over other cars that i own and that cost 3 times more than my 2000 saab aero 9.5
it cannot match a bmw 3 series for fun, but it is more of an all around car.
cannot match a 911 nor a ferrari but it is more of an all around car.
and it has 4 seats.
did i answer you ?
