Not Perfect, but Darned Good

by sprouty , Jun 28 '01
Pros: Rare, SPACE, safety and solidity, lots of features for the money.
Cons: Slow without Turbo engine, very expensive to fix and maintain, ponderous handling.
In April of 2001, I traded in my 1996 Saab 900S five door automatic for my new 2001 VW Jetta GLX (see my epinion on that one, too). I loved the Saab, but I wanted something a little more fun to drive, and I longed for a stick-shift again....

Should you consider it? Definitely!

by bostenson , Aug 05 '00
Pros: Capacity, Features, Price (used), Reliability (yes, you read that right)
Cons: Rear seat room, lacking power w/o turbo
2 months ago I wrote a review of the SAAB 9-5 Aero, my current vehicle. Being a self-professed BMW fan, I think it's important that I tell you about how I got sucked into the SAAB fold...

1996 Saab 900S Convertible

by saabsnob31 , Jun 28 '05
Pros: reliable automatic top, awesome color scheme, fun ride, tons of leg room
Cons: Car alarm is touchy, no turbo, atrocious on speed bumps
I just bought my second Saab, a 1996 900S Convertible after previously owning the devil incarnate (mechanically) itself in a 1999 9-3. I owned my first saab all through college after selling my Wrangler Sahara and after having it for 3 years had ...

A Love Story...

by emmavalentine , Oct 08 '04
Pros: Turbo= Fun to Drive. Different. Heated seats on cold nights prove there is a God
Cons: Repairs are costly & Mechanics aren't charmers.
I should preface this all by saying that I'm in love with my Saab. I'm not a car person and have never cared much for any car in the past, but I love, love, love this car. I can't help it. I bought my Saab 900SE Turbo used, after owning a Toyota ...

Saab story

by mapleafs , Apr 04 '02
Pros: Great trunk room, good looks, it's a SAAB, i love the Swedes
Cons: NO cupholders, bad windshield wipers
Alright, everybody talks about how Saab's are unreliable, and in the shoppe all the time. I have only had my Saab 900s for about 2 weeks, but so far it is awesome.

The exterior:
- Great looks, long enough wheel base, looks different...

1996 Saab 900s 2.3L, 5 speed.

by rackley114 , May 23 '02
Pros: Style, comfort, reliability (yes reliability!), features, enjoyment, safety.
Cons: Relatively expensive for spare parts.
This is my very first Saab automobile, and I am very happy. Mine had 113,000 miles on it when I bought it, and have put over 14,000 miles on it in the first year I have owned it. The only problems I have had were a couple of light globes fail, and a...

1996 900 SE Turbo 5 door

by jpenrod , Sep 08 '99
Pros: Great look, Great Mileage, Unique Saab styling
Cons: Some annoying rattles, high cost for routine maintenance
Just an update - I still have this car! Over 150,000 miles and it still runs great, no major problems in 10 years of ownership. It's come to the point where it's worth more as a functional car than I could ever get for selling it so I'll keep it until ...

I am loving my Saab!!

by idiglove , Jan 26 '02
Pros: ROOMY! Attractive and solid!!
Cons: Handles turns like a HUGE TRUCK!
I recently purchased a 1996 Saab 900 S Hatchback. I love this car! It has a huge hatch and the rear seats fold down to create gargantuan cargo space. It's a nice solid ride although it does rattle a little when it's cold first thing when you start it....

Saabs are addictive..

by en184 , Apr 27 '03
Pros: Roomy, Fast, ABS, style
Cons: Not good for town driving
I recently purchased a SAAB 900 after changing my job and needing a car.

The car is great for the motorways and for trunk roads, making long journeys seem short. It is also very quiet at high speeds.

One of the great features of...

undeniable love

by alexdas , Jul 24 '02
Pros: saab owners are unquestionably the most satisfied car owners ever.
Cons: its not a new car even though it has more features than most new cars.
I have to question every person that considers the word "saab" to be baby gibberish. Living in Dallas and owning a 1996 saab 900 S, I realize that the company does not receive the proper amount of exposure as it does in say, New York.

Great Car

by misssmaggie , Aug 09 '00
Pros: Safety, Classic Style
Cons: Expensive, Gets Stuck in Snow
I bought my Saab 900 new after trading in my beloved Volvo 240. I wanted all the reliable characteristics and safety ratings of my Volvo in something more sporty. I haven't been disappointed in the Saab which has proved to be a great car with...

Reliable, fun drive

by khughes , Dec 19 '99
Pros: safe, spacious, great mileage, sporty
Cons: interior amenities are lacking
My husband and I leased a Saab 900S in 96 as a shared car for mostly city driving. The key decision point for us was that the hatchback allowed for lots of storage, but wasn't so big that parking in the city was a hassle.

We've now bought the...

Service Problems

by benreiter , Apr 25 '00
Pros: Good Looking
Cons: Service
This car Can run well, but if you have problems in Florida don't expect the dealer to repair it. They have no clue and have kept my car several days while researching fixes. My airbag light comes on every time the battery is disconnected and the dealer...

My 900S Manual trans.

by joeyedgins , Mar 04 '05
Pros: Unique design, great gas mileage, decent maintenace cost, fun to drive!
Cons: Not enough shops for maintenace, mine 30 miles away, buy turbo for plenty of power
I bought this car with 131,000 miles this past October at a SAAB dealership with records. If you are going to purchase one of these, make sure you stay away from the V6 and be a little leary of the automotic transmission. I did my homework, trust me. ...
