  keeps on ticking - 1996 Saab 900
  By Jungle - November 28 - 8:06 am

  After 135,000 miles Im still on my original shocks & struts, brake discs, drivetrain and engine. The only complaints Ive had from a repair stand point has been weird electrical problems and constant oil leaks.

  For being "different," its too ordinary. - 1996 Saab 900
  By fitzgerald.e - November 6 - 5:50 pm

  I bought this car as my 21st birthday present. I moved on from a 9000 S to the proper turbo 900. Since I bought it, it has slowly fallen apart. Little things break, and it just adds up. The performance is nothing special (especially today), and the turbo takes FOREVER to build any meaningful boost. Also, the clutch is stiff and there arent ANY cup holders! You need at least one, especially with a manual. The climate control irritates me. Why is it always on? Its default setting should be "off." I dont want it blowing hot air when I get in at noon in July! I think Id be happier with an S70 T5 of similar vintage.

  My first Saab - 1996 Saab 900
  By Claude - September 21 - 10:00 am

  I wanted only a Saab. Nothing else. I finally found a 900SE, 1996, 2 doors coupé, red, 5 speeds full, full equiped. No option missing. My dream! In Québec province, our french automobile buyers guide does not encourage peoples to buy Saab. They prefer BMW. They say that this car is dangerous because it is a performance car with front wheel drive. They say that it has to be rear wheel drive. I agree a little bit but with the winters we have in Québec I prefer a front wheel drive on snow and ice.

  I Love My Saab 900 SE Turbo Convertible - 1996 Saab 900
  By tanya68 - March 31 - 2:09 am

  This is my second Saab. I absolutely love my car. Its a 1996 and I have 92k miles on it. My top still works and the car is very dependable. Right now, however, I cant figure out why my dash lights have gone completely out (cant drive at night) and my horn honks non-stop; had to remove the fuse for now. Any great Saab mechanics out there? I also need a new hose for my turbo... Help!!
