If you are looking at an older SAAB (1980'S), and need the auto, I would look at a 9000 insted of a 900. The early 900's were a 3 speed that never seemed to have the right gear. The 9000 is a 4 speed that gets it right most of the time. No where near as much fun as a 5 speed manual in any case. And the auto's do not have a good reputation for long life. Risk a clutch, its the same to change in a 900 as a 99, and the 5 speed is way more fun to drive. I learned to drive a car with a clutch on the same tractor that my Mom learned on when she was a child, so it's not a girl/guy thing, more like attention to driving and wiilingness to learn.
