(Consumer Reports seems to think otherwise) The Saab Turbo is probably among the most reliavle turbocharged engines in the industry. Give it good preventive maintenance, and it will last a long time. >2) Is it true that after every drive, I should let the the car idle for about 5 minutes before shutting off the engine? (because of it being a turbo engine) You have to give it some cooldown time at idle, but not 5 minutes -- more like 20-30 seconds. The owner's manual will give you guidance. --------------------- John R. Weiss Seattle, WA Remove *NOSPAM* from address to reply
