  2. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    After having the saab for a few months now I thought I would post up a comparison of the 9-3 1.9tid with our other car, a MG ZR 2.0 TD. As cars go the little ZR doesn't compare at all to the SAAB but it does give you more smiles with its sporty nature. It's the engines I want to compare and the...
  3. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    9 5 Aero Estate versus 9 5 TiD with 175 Hirsch conversion comparison Over the past 4 years I have had one 2.2 TD, two TiD Vector Sports and a couple of Aero Estates..all have been new “leased” vehicles. I now have an 58 Aero Estate which replaced my 08 model I had just had the opportunity to...
  4. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I had a 2006 93 1.9 tid which I sold earlier this year. My wife currently has a 93 convertible, so I'm pretty used to SAAB ownership & the 'usual' issues!. My 93 was a vector sport & had a pretty harsh ride. I'm thinking of buying a 2006 95 Vector, 1.9Tid. Pretty low mileage. How do these...

    The one thing I loved-Loved-LOVED about the Saab 9-4x concept vehicle was the interior. The photos look fantastic but they don’t do it justice. This really is fantastic. Earlier today, Autoblog posted some spyshots of the Saab 9-4x production vehicle undergoing testing. It was full of body...

    Many have opined that Subaru is the new Saab. They do things a little different. They had a full AWD range when everyone else had it as an option. They offered turbos long before many others. They use a range of boxer engines, including a new boxer diesel. Somehow they managed to make ugly...
  8. Saab News
    Photo Credits: Carl Levine This is a great writeup on the comparison between the 1998 Saab 9-5 and the current 2008 Saab 9-5, by Carl Levine of Granite-Embedded Systems, the inventor of the Audio Troll device that seamlessly integrates the Ipod and the Saab. I find this writeup a great...

    Just curious, as I can't afford anything like it, but how does €61,850 for a new entry level 9-5 Aero compare to prices in other countries? Maybe if I start doing the Lotto (it could be me)

    Just seen an advert for this: http://www.comparethemarket.com/ quotes from over 300 insurance providers in under four minutes, apparently. Might be better than confused.com ? [edit] not a great start - the system could not locate the 1980 99 Turbo that I wanted a quote on. Interestingly...
  11. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Over the weekend, I accompanied a friend of mine who was looking round the car yards for a new car. After looking through a few places we came across a place selling used European cars, on inspection I found the usual line up of beemers, mercs, audis, and a nice flock of saabs. I had a...

  13. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I have been comparing the SID readings on the MPG against the actual reading I am getting by filling the tank right up.The further you travel the bigger the difference there is in the SID reading. ie: Over 350 miles the top up figure reads 33mpg against the SID reading of 36mpg. Over a shorter...

  15. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    I'm guessing that we could, by pooling our subjective data, get a more objective 'gestalt' view of which springs do what in terms of drop, rate increase, longevity and overall saabaliscousness. To me, the Erics Saab Site info is the best starting point available, if Eric's cool with us working...
  16. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Below is a link to a page of Saab 9000's on eBay's USA auction site. Care to share some feedback on our prices here vs. UK ? Of course, being it's an auction,the prices aren't final. However, a few of them are "NO RESERVE" auctions, so the final price typically won't be much higher than the...
