Saab 900 Reviews

My first car was a 1993 Saab 2.0, first year of production of the 900 'NG', which shared many components with the contemporary Vauxhall / Opel Vectra. Don't be fooled by that lineage, however, the 900 remained a very different car, with a style and character all of its own. As a second hand first car for your son or daughter, a ...

I got my first and only Saab 900 Turbo, a grey/lightblue 1987 that has got me through college and beyond. This car replaced an 1988 BMW 535 that was ruined graduation day with an accident with a drunk driver, Irony. To replace this car I found a $2000 Saab 900 Turbo, at first it was only temporary. But the Classic 900(8v), 900s(16v), and ...

Saab 900 turbo. The car of all cars, yes I’m talking about the Saab 900 turbo. My fiancé (Shaun) has a Saab 900 turbo 16s (classic) Black, J-reg, 198,000 miles on the clock (yes that’s nearly 200,000 miles) and it’s still going! That just shows how good these cars can be if looked after. Shaun has had it over a year, and believe you me ...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but Saabs do have a sort of "middle aged ex-debutant" feel about them which is hard to feel irritated or offended by. Its distinct panavision windscreen and long snout gives it enough pose to sit next to a Citroen DS and not blush. The 3-door with spoiler is a classic shape. The 5-door tends to carry ...

The Saab 900 turbo (9-3 shape) looks nice - bit sparce inside but very functional. Many people, including myself, were/are not prepared for what happens when one puts their right down. I know that all Saab's now have a turbo fitted as standard but the majority are low pressure turbos giving just a bit of extra grunt. The full blown, high ...

Why is Saab virtually unique in getting uglier and uglier as each new model is introduced? The first was by far the prettiest, but it was a gradual decline downhill since. Still, the first version of the 900 is still pretty nice compared to what came after GM took over and there was that embarassing collaboration with FIAT and Alfa to create the ...

The Saab 900 Turbo was, in its day, a much sought after “prestige” car. From the famous Swedish manufacturers of jet engines, this vehicle was viewed as almost the ultimate “flying machine”, and sold equally well to both performance car enthusiasts and the executive market. I purchased a 1986 version of this car in ...

The year was '91 and i was a mere 14 when my dad rolled home with a new Saab 900 turbo sport! Now this was a fast car at around 170 bhp, and could easily top 60 in about 8 seconds. Imagine my amazment (especially as the original had an unfortunate incident with a broken gearbox) when i called him up for a chat last week and he duly ...
