Fell 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.Nov 18, 2012

Well firstly it's not a convertible, it's a Talladega, this application didn't have my trim on the option list. The handling on this car is fantastic, I would never go with another car for handling. The acceleration isn't very fast, but the top end is really good! The build quality of it is superb! It looks really good and weird! It does not do so well on fuel though, only about 23 mpg in the summer, and in the winter about 17mpg. This car is very fun to drive, but not as fun as the classic 900 turbo!!Nov 11, 2009

pulls 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.Sep 11, 2009

Recently found low milage 1998 900S Turbo coupe, 51,000 miles. It is like new interior and exterior with cool aftermarket rims. Performance and handling like newer 2002 9-3 SE. Local dealer International Saab, Falls Church Virginia is solid family owned dealer that has outstanding sales and service--I recommend Saab and dealer.

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:-)Jul 09, 2008

This 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.Jun 28, 2008

Out of our full stable of cars (all 2 of them) this is by far the best. The '98 Saab, though possessing a mere 188 horsepower, is quite fast. There may be some turbo lag around the city ( you plant your foot, and a half-second later, you get rocket acceleration. But the half-second...). Ours is fully loaded with heated seats ( who cares? we live in California) and a 6-disc cd changer. It was pretty cheap used, we've had no repairs except a little trim, and for a 10+ year old car, its in pretty good nick.May 09, 2008

What users have asked
'98 Saab 900T
My '98 Saab 900 has a strong vibration when at idle which gets worse when a gear is selected....as when in D at idle the vibration is bad enough that l must move into Neutral to minimize the vibe. What might be the problem?
