Love my Saab and now the car had a total electrical meltdown for a half an hour. Then it started again. The shop ran their scAn and checked it out and cannot find a problem! This happened a week ago. Will I love it or lease it???? Update. Meltdown occurred several years ago. No problem since then . update never had the electrical problem again. The car is now 10 years old and ,with 41,000 miles runs beautifully. Just had it detailed and had to replace the top about 6 months ago($2000 ouch). still love my SAAB

I bought this car on day -1 and now 50K miles later I can say I'm glad I did. As a total package this car cannot be beat. Does it go 0-60 with an M3 - no of course not. As a total experience this car rocks - decent off the line performance, great handling, no bling-bling crap, and a decent back seat.

My Saab drives great, love the turbo pick up. My only complaint is the electronics are an expensive mess. Even though repaired, the electronic locks never seem to work correctly. Even after being repaired it didn't take long before the locks were a problem again. Frequent and costly repairs have caused me to rethink my ownership of this vehicle. You expect repairs on an older vehicle but the repairs needed are constant and costly. I recently had my vehicle towed into the dealership and they said it was the battery and replaced it. It worked for about a week after that and now sits in my driveway. I can't afford to have it towed for the repair (AGAIN).
