I've had three Saabs. The first was an 87 900. I actually bought it for my wife, but it was so underpowered that a year later I traded it in for an 88 900 Turbo. Now THAT was a great car. I put 100K on it in eight years, and loved every minute of it. But thinking that 8 years was long enough, I bought a 96 900SET. This car, I'm not so happy with. The sheet metal is flimsy, the electronics fail occasionally, two batteries have died, the ignition switch has died...it's just not that reliable. So, now I've had this one 7. If I could somehow recapture the experience (and confidence) of my 88, I'd buy another Saab in a heartbeat. I have no desire to re-experience the 96. So, which of these cars was the anomoly? Are the 9-3s better? Just looking for general comments, and what better place than the internet? tia. Craig
