1998 Saab 900 SE Turbo 2dr Convertible
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
Purchased my 9.3 turbo SE convert in 2000 with 40k miles on it. Just a word to the wise: over the last 5 years I have put about $11- $15k into it for a new automatic transmission, new motor for convertible top, new brake pads & rotors (2x), oil changes and major and minor services. While I really enjoyed *having* this car, I don't think I would make this decision again. I had a Honda before and I like the cheap maintenance and regular unleaded fuel. I will go back to that soon, I'm almost over the need for a convertible. I have to admit though, if you don't mind shelling out more than the usual amount of $$ for service, it's the coolest convertible out there.
Good car but has some sketchy problems

Serpentine belt failed at 32000 miles, Wiper jets constantly fail, headlamps tend to go out, loud suspension when cold...other than that, gotta love Saab Turbo power!

This car is more fun to drive than any car I have driven to date. Find a country road and mash the accelerator...better than a strong cup of coffee. I bought my Saab used and for buck, it has a helluva lot more bang than anything else in that price range.
Not your Grandpa's Saab Anymore

Today's Saabs may be a little more GM'd but that may, ultimately, be beneficial for the marque. Aside from the classic Saab "quirks" that all of the car rags like to mention repeatedly, Saab has packed so much more fun into the NG900 and 9-3 models. This car can perform, safety is key and utilitarianism was definitely on the mind of every involved Saab engineer when they produced the NG900 and 9-3 (essentially the same). If you get a chance to test drive a "broken-in" Saab, definitely don't deny yourself the pleasure.
great car for the price

I bought a this Saab 900 SE after comparing it to an Audi A4 and BMW M3. The Saab is a quality automobile...not the refinement of a BMW, but still heads above your Hondas and Toyotas of the world. Great performance...not off the line, but in true driving situations like passing or merging...drop a gear, hit the accelerator the turbo really accelerates as fast as any car on the street. Friend has a BMW 540, and it out ran him on the highway. Saab has quirks, but i enjoy it greatly...and the hatchback is key. A slick looking, performance car with great storage capacity. Dont buy tihs car if you want to Mod it...not enough options. 98 is a good year...most of the model quirks are out.
