I know, these cars get beaten up pretty badly in the automotive press. One of my enthusiast friends looked at me like I had lost my mind when I told him I was buying a SAAB (and his wife cherishes her '97 900 SE).
SAABs have a certain character that makes them very appealling to those who appreciate it. I think we should enjoy the hell out of our beautiful new cars (I really do like the way these 9-5s look) and forget the buyer's guides. The low ratings probably made them more affordable for those of us who bought pre-owned. Besides, I don't think I'd be getting 24 mpg around town in any of those cars in the C/D comparo ...
Happy Motoring!
