<HTML> i recently bought a 97 saab 900s turbo. <BR>the car looks brand new. <BR>and i enjoy it very much. <BR> <P>joe wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Just test drove a 1997 900 S. The ride was fine for the most part (a lot <BR>quieter than I expected) but the shifting was awful. It was nearly <BR>impossible to get the damn thing in 5th gear. Even my 1985 VW Jetta GLI had <BR>better throws than this Saab. And for a car barely 1 year old, the interior <BR>roof lining was hanging loose about an inch.
