I had never had a chance to drive a Viggen, so when I saw one locally available I decided to give it a go. This was an almost immaculate, low-mileage vert, in stock condition. I drive a 2000 9-3 SE so it was an interesting comparison.
The funny thing is that what most impressed me was handling and how little body roll the was, but performance-wise I was a bit underwhelmed. There certainly was more low-end torque than in my SE, less turbo lag, so it was more effortless to move around. I wouldn't call the power output raw or insane or uncontrollable, though, and this part surprised me. Maybe I just drive like a grandma...
In any case, I'm surprised how different my experience was from what I thought it would be, and basically how similar it felt compared to my SE.
