    What a pile of poo that Saab was

    Benes Invoicing Ltd and family were in the UK at the weekend,

    upon landing at Heathrow we picked up a hire car,

    a brand spanking new Saab 93 estate 1.9tdi to be precise

    all shiny, leather seats etc etc

    what a pile of poo that car is

    6 gears and don't you need to work that gearbox there's no grunt at lower revs

    even sadder for such a specced car (leather seats leccy windows etc) it didn't even have
    a sensor rear view mirror and you have to twist a lever when driving at night if the car behind has bright lights !!! how out of date is that

    plastics inside were poo too

    all in all not at all impressed, always had the impression Saab's were something posh - obviously not, this is below Mondeo territory

    Milan.

    They're Vectras.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      General Motors ownership (1989–2010)

      GM’s involvement spurred the launch of a new 900 in 1994. The new car shared a platform with the Opel Vectra. Due in large part to its success, Saab earned a profit in 1995 for the first time in seven years.
