1990 Saab 900 2 Dr SPG Turbo Hatchback
Review
The SAAB 900 SPG is a beautiful vehicle. Having owned mine since March 2002, I have enjoyed every minute of ownereship. The car, if respected is great to drive, and never fails to bring a smile to my face. It has a timeless design and a few people have asked me if it was the new 9-3 (obviously not SAAB afficionados ). Pay close attention to maintenance and it will treat you well. I would highly recommend a SAAB to anyone.

1990 Saab 900 2 Dr SPG Turbo Hatchback
Review
I have owned this car for 7 years to date (2004) and it has been the love of my life. This is definitely a vehicle intended for enthusiasts or hobbyists who are interested in maintaining a vehicle. I have had the need to replace parts (shocks, alternator, starter, clutch, etc.) however I find nothing out of the ordinary for a luxury segment vehicle and its mileage. The fuel economy, performance of a turbo-4 cyl. and utility of a saab hatchback are second to none. This car has performed reliably as long as I maintained it.
Favorite Features
-Style -Performance with economy -Rear seats which fold flat to the floor, and no lift out for the cargo area (it turns into a two seat truck) -wrap around windscreen, and dash layout like an airplane cockpit
Suggested Improvements
- stereo was good in late 80s but worth replacing - handling, its a heavy car but it can be light in the back end on corner - roof liner sags and dash cracks with age but known issue - dealerships may not be best at servicing old models (pre-GM buyout), best to find a mechanic that spec

I love to drive this car. I know it looks different and sometime I get a few strange looks, but I would not drive any other car.

1990 Saab 900 2 Dr S Hatchback
Review
The '90 was our first SAAB. From this experiance came two more, first a new '99 9-3 then a 2000 Viggen. The 900S is the real classic though. It, unfortunately is to be replaced on 10- 03 as it has begun to show signs of it's nearly 240,000 miles. It's to be replaced with another 2000 9-3. The 90 900S is a true classic that I will miss.

1990 Saab 900 4 Dr STD Sedan
Review
Engine is just getting broken in, at over 240,000 miles. Whatever it is, owning one of these cars is addicting. If you step back and look at it, there is no good reason to own one of these classic styled autos. A honda or toyota is much more reliable and cheap. go forever if the body didn't rust away. Ive had two now, both over 250,000 miles. Don't expect much, and you will get a car that surprises you.
Favorite Features
Afforded by the wrap around windshield, dash design, and seating position, the feeling openness found in the front seat of these cars is not like any other.
Suggested Improvements
aftermarket sunroof mounted diagonally.
kriptonite for the average budget.

1990 Saab 900 2 Dr STD Turbo Convertible
Review
Buy a used Saab (5 y.o. or older) for your closest enemy. It's like putting a piece of crap... I'm sorry, kriptonite in Superman's pocket. This car will drain them dry just to keep the darned thing from draining it's fluids.
Favorite Features
The specialized engine and transmittion that requires only a Saab trained magician to work on it.
Suggested Improvements
Too many to list.
