Capable Runabout, Solidly Built And Safe — this GL spec (low spec) 900 non turbo did not have power steering, hatches are not as pretty as sedans IMO, but looks are individual and eye catching nontheless. Performance was pretty average, build quality was very very high though. Cost of ownership of saabs has always been a little higher than UK vehicles (in fact any imported car will be), and on this spec, the fun factor is limited, but it was a very capable lugger and runabout for many many years.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Pros: high spec Turbos are amazing and handle beautifully

Cons: low spec GL's uninspiring

Swedish engineering has been like a waking up moment. The things that are different are for a great reason like key in the console and the window controls on the console. Second gear is the best, it... Read More

Saab Rules By Lars

Not cheap to run but very good value all in all. A true 4-seater with ability to cover long distances in a very relaxed fashion. Cruise contro on, top off and you're ready to travel anywhere in Europe... Read More

Handling is exceptional along with braking. Build quality is good on mechanicals but not so much on interior parts. The car is a neat green color and it has the S.E wheels which look nice. Its no s... Read More
