Every since my friend bought a new Viggen in 2001 I've had Viggen lust and immediately made my friend promise he would give me first dibs if he ever sold it. Fast forward to three weeks ago and now I own this Viggen with just under 40k miles and meticulous service records. I've driven it now for a couple weeks and as much as I admire the car from a performance stand point it just isn't my cup of tea. Maybe this is because I've driven an Audi A6 4.2 liter quatro the past 3 years and absolutely loved every mile in this car. But I should mention that I've always had a Saab in my driveway since purchasing my first car (a 1978 99Gl) over 20 years ago, and my wife currently drives a 9-5 wagon. So I am fond of Saabs but the Viggen just feels too radical to be my daily driver. It is a way stiff ride and maybe a little too much torque as it feels quite jumpy and quick handling. Maybe I'm just getting too old and need a smoother ride these days? I've toyed with installing the rescue kit to see if that tames it a bit but I really don't want to do any modifications if I decide to sell it since it is so pristine. I drove a 2002 9-5 Aero (manual) the other day and loved the way it drove and handled but it is a bit boring compared to the Viggen. What to do? I'm sure I will regret selling it in a few months as I know nice stock examples with low mileage are getting really hard to find. Has anybody else out there needed warming up time with their Viggen or do you think my assessment isn't likely to change?
