    I'm picking up my first Saab tomorrow, a 2008 9-3 TTid Vector Sport from a large West London used car supermarket. I'm very much looking forward to it but I have one little worry - It's only got one key. From browsing this site for a couple of days I can see that keys are a bit of an issue...

    Sweden’s E24 have provided a nice piece on what we can “hopefully” expect tomorrow when the EIB meet to determine the fate of Saab Automobile’s loan. It’s very positive, of course optimistic given that it is before the loan decision, but it’s nice to read. On Wednesday board meeting of the...

They're regulary cleaned etc but when I break slowly or steer to the left there's a really loud screeching sound - breaks seem fine but it's damn embarressing!!! Does anyone have any idea's? I've got a 98 2.3T SE...

    Well rumour has it Greasy slippery Gordon Brown is going to screw drivers again tomorrow. Namely cars with high C02 emissions. If I remember rightly the 9-5 Aero fares very well compared to the BMW 5 Series? But It depends where Gordon draws the line. I checked out the 9-5 Aero (06) Carbon...
