You got the point many of the Classic 900 owner's have know all along - the Classic is fun car to drive. If you want bells and whistles and you have money to burn, get the newer Saabs. If you don't have money to burn, then you can buy any one of the other less costly makes that have just as many if not more bells and whistles. Driving a Classic is not about ventilated memory power leather seats or 10 speaker sound systems or 20 cup holders or drag racing out of a light. It is driving down an empty, twisty back country road with the radio turned off and the windows open, with no particular destination :-) Dima wrote: > Hello, > > I just got a 1991 900, red, 2.0L, non-turbo.
