The 1997 900S Convertible has the sleek look of a well designed vehicle with structural body strength and a sporty character and appearance. Most of the exterior holds up well to the various weather climates but when faced with finally finding replacement parts, you have to seriously consider whether or not hanging onto this prestige Saab is a smart thing to do. At 126K miles, I expected another 20 or 30 K before facing high repair costs. Since I've purchased the Saab in 2006 & having no idea of the kind of conditions the previous owner placed on the vehicle, I've since invested at least 1/3 the original cost into more than just simple wear and tear. After Ks of dollars and 126K miles humm

CONS - Extremely poor front wheel wet traction despite very good new tires. Engine blew at 60K miles. Power windows are very slow. Cup holders might as well not exist. Screen for radio and onboard computer doesn't work. Headlights burn out about every 7K miles. 17/25 MPG despite non-turbo 4 cylinder engine.PROS - Can't beat a convertible. Like the exterior styling. Great trunk space even with the top down.

I Bought this Car off of ebay and have had no issues with it so far. (previous owner had a lot of work done and a new top installed just before I bought it!) Its a lot of fun to drive and it corners decently well. The center of gravity is a little high so it tends to roll in corners. But otherwise driving it is a blast. It gets OK Gas mileage cause its a litle heavy for the 150 HP 2.3 L but it still gets where I wand to go Plenty fast! Overall I would buy another one when this one dies!
will never buy one again

The engine went out on the car when it hit 10000 miles and Saab thinks that is ok. Many other problems, have replaced radio, clutch, brakes, seats, tires, etc. We will never buy a SAAB again- too many problems with a brand new car. SAAB customer service is improving but not anywhere near what it needs to be. The dealerships service departments are comitting fraud and SAAB USA doesn't do anything about it.
TOO MANY PROBLEMS

First time I have owned a Saab - and the last. Way too many problems: broken seat, ignition failed @35,000 mi,problems with top, fuel line broke, trunk opens with problems, heater control knob broke, center consol broken (not to mention terible design), wiper fluid pump failed. Just to name a few.
