Winter in our part of Canada lasts from November to March. The road handling of the front wheel drive Saab is wonderful. Year round, this Saab spends half its life on secondary highways and gravel. At 30 months it has gone 75,000 km (47,000 miles). It has performed flawlessly. The only servicing has been oil changes.
My Third, And Last, Saab

I'm getting ready to turn my Saab in from my lease. The whole experience has been nothing but disappointing. My biggest complaint: TIRES! I've replaced 6 - yes 6! - tires (at $250, per). All 5 of my rims are bent - which I REFUSE to replace. (FYI: A class-action lawsuit was filed regarding the tires. Now, there is a disclaimer on the new brochures). I LOVED my car. I fought for this car with my husband...LOL. This is my third Saab and I would have been loyal for life. I wanted the convertible next, but after 3 years and just 24000 miles (I never drive during the week), I'm ready to throw the keys back at the dealership and never look back.

This car has been nothing but problems! Constant check engine light going on and no answers...needed a new alternator at 30k miles and the interior parts are cheaply made (and are constantly breaking). Very disappointing! I'm going back to my Pathfinder!
...sad to return car to Saab

13 times in shop in 25 months of ownership. Worst experience ever with a new car -- replaced transmission, water pump, power ant., a/c compressor and hoses 4 times, windows leaked, and on and on... Saab USA finally paid me to return the car. Even with all these problems, it was the most enjoyable car to drive and haul my family and stuff.
Didn't expect so many problems...

Purchased this vehicle mid-2001 and has unfortunately been a tremendous headache since end of 2001. Has shut down WHILE DRIVING 3 separate times, towed in total of 6x, is into dealer average of once every 2 months. Manufacturer doesn't seem to stand behind warranty and dealers in this area aren't very knowledgeable (if no "code" comes up, dealer says can't fix and need to keep bringing in). Was told by other Saab owners that quality of vehicle line severely dropped once GM took over... Would strongly urge someone to go with a more reliable car.
