Fellow Canuck Saaber:
I wonder if we have the same dealer? I too took the car directly into them last week when temperatures and humidity were the same as yours. The SAAB Mechanic also concurred - excessive delay of power creating a dangerous driving situation. I have counted 3-5 long seconds before the turbo ramps up and delivers power. Until then it is a slow roll through the intersection regardless of how much the accelerator is depressed (even on the floor). Like your mechanic, he called the SAAB techs in TO and according to them, they have received calls from other dealers on the east coast with the same problem. To date no corrective action but I will be speaking with him on Tuesday of next week. I will keep everyone posted as to what they do and te results.
I have been running nothing but 91 octane and during a 2 week trip in new Hampshire, 94 octane - no difference to performance.
