opinions, experiences?

 

Last time i was in one i thought it was cool and hot looking. The interior was deffinitly nice, but once it startted driving i realized why they don't sell. The ride is very stiff, and there is too much road noise for the money.

 

do u remember which one u drove? arc, linear or aero? if u drove the turbo, how was the turbo lag if any?

thanks

 

My friend's Dad works for Saab so I have been in just about every one. Not the new ones yet although I would love to take a new Aero for a spin! 250hp & 258 ft-lbs. of torque! Torque peak is also at 1900 RPM!! I have driven his '95 Aero and it is very nice. There is definitely turbo lag but once it spools up it is fantastic. My CL can beat the '95 Aero but not by much. We raced from a 10mph roll to 80mph and I was about 1.5 cars ahead. I like the Saabs, they are solid cars but a little strage inside. Takes some getting used to...

 

my aunts 9-3 turbo is in the shop every month.

...once, she hit a pothole and it bent the suspension. lol. no joke. she had to have like the whole rear suspension replaced. warranty didnt cover that either. she said it wasnt even a big pothole (an average-sized chicago pothole ). other stuff too...like the service light coming on all the time...and coming on during the ride home from the dealer just after it got fixed....

...word to the wise...not recommended.
