1998 Saab 900 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1998 Saab 900 express a strong fondness for its performance, particularly the turbo power and handling. Many appreciate its reliability and the fun of driving with the top down during summer. However, some drivers noted concerns about the chassis and stiffness of the clutch, and a few mentioned that it can be a bit rattly at times."
This car has never let me down, and it's cheap to run too, considering the amount of omph and the size of it. Bought it with the clock at 89 000 km, it's now been running every day without any kind of trouble (except change of exhaust pipes last year) and is now klocked at 167 000 km. Allthough I've driven cars that behave better on curvy roads it definitely isn't all that bad, and it has got fairly good acceleration as well, but it is more of mile-guzzler than a fun car to drive. Clutch is quite stiff, but the feeling from your feet to the engine is very good - Mind, if you drive through a lot of traffic jams every day, your left leg will get a lot of exercise:-) The seats though, are the best to be found in any kind of vehicle, plus I kind of like the quirky looks of it - it grows on you:-)
July 9, 2008This Saab 900 Turbo 2.0L S comes stock with around 160 hp stock. Mine has around 260 hp and 280 lbs of torque. This car goes 40-70 in 2ed gear faster then a Porsche 911 Turbo. Although it's front wheel drive its one of the fastest cars I've ever driven. With the turbo spooling 22lbs peak boost and a full spool ready to push at around 2.5k rps it really gets up and goes.
June 28, 2008Fell in love with this car when I first saw it and have taken long trips with it, to North Carolina and Outer Banks having no trouble with it. Enjoy it most in the summer with the top down and the AC works great. Good winter car also, never got stuck in the snow. Handles Great with a lot of Turbo power.

November 18, 2012pulls like a motha. looks great. I've had it since April '08 and only had to replace the clutch master cylinder and t-stat. Average 27-30 mpg with heavy right foot. Little rattley at times though. good price too. Chassis is not too impressive.
