only 1 owner, bought at 49,000 miles.Was weekend car. The stock CD/radiocombo died 2 months after purchase due to a design flaw in the amp. Only had a bad thermostat, but needs a new master cylinder for clutch. Other than that,works fine. Heats up quickly in winter.A lot of body flex, but thats a given for a convertible. Its a blast w/ the turbo, but something might be broken w/my car b/c it gets around 13 MPG currently. Excellent cornering, only problem is the low ground clearance. Reliability varies, can get 60,000 or300,000 out of various parts, it depends on your luck. Beware, if you can't get apart second-hand, a new/refurb part will cost you.

SAAB's get the ladies

This SAAB is on it's last legs. Although cosmetically perfect, the engine's suffering. Although the 2.0L 16V Turbo 4 is rated at 160hp new, it has dropped astonishingly. Up until 2yrs ago it had decent power to get around, but recently(thanks to my neglect) it has lost alot of pep to the point that it's dangerous. With the 3 Spd auto; you hit the gas and it sluggishly creep's out and will then stagger up to speed. I have to take caution when pulling out to not get into a situation I can't get out of. Take caution when buying a SAAB, they are an acquired taste and parts are EXPENSIVE.

This car has been an excellent investment for me in terms of reliability and durability. It still has a ton of life left to live

We bought this vehicle in the summer of 2004. At first it seemed like a great vehicle, but a couple of months later, the piece of junk started having problems. Them saabs cost a heck of a lot to repair too because of the foreign parts and exorbitant labor. Talk about crappy fuel economy too. I got 7 miles to the gallon in the winter 10 in the summer. i NO PEOPLE Who have jacked up trucks that get better gas millage than that. Who cares about the environment but getting 4 to 8 miles to the gallon sure as heck hurts your wallet. its had zero power too. After owning it about a year the engine bit the dust. it had freakin 80,000 mile on it. Never buy a saab. Only buy fords, jeeps and chevys
