The ills of Saab autos have been well documented and hotly debated here. No car is without its quirks, that's what recalls are for. Some will contend that the Saab autos are fine and the owners are defective, others will agree with you (that they are junk). I'm not a Saab historian, but given the longevity of the Saab 900 platform (and commonality with previous models), that transmission design may be thirty years old. The fact that it's a three speed should tell you something. I would say that anyone driving a normally aspirated Saab 900 with an automatic is losing out on what little perfomance can be squeezed from such an archaic power to weight ratio.
