>The left side light on the radio/trip info display is out
If one side is just DIM and there aren't missing segments (aka "lines") in the display then it's as simple as a blown backlight bulb. There are three bulbs accessed from the back of the SID... Get spares at the dealer and install em yourself.
>The analog and digital clocks don’t display the same time
EASY fix. The procedure is in your owner's manual (worth skimming at least). If you disconnect the SID and then reconnect it, you will be prompted to "SYNCHRONIZE CLOCKS". Just set the analog clock with the small buttons underneath, and the digital clock with the + and - buttons. There is a button combo to press that allows you to synchronize without disconnecting the SID. RTFM! ;-)
>The tail pipe is about a 1.5 in diameter pipe with nothing dressing it up
Yeah, the basic turbo pipe is nothing to behold... Get a Saab Sport Exhaust for asthetic and performance reasons. 'nuf said.
>With my 900 SET, on idle the condensation was still there after 1 hour of highway driving. Is this of any concern?
As long as you're not going through excessive amounts of coolant, and the coolant and oil aren't mixing then I wouldn't be too worried about it. The normal combustion process produces lots of water vapor... It's just more noticeable on cold days.
>The front right suspension sounded rough for the first bumpy quarter mile I drove this morning
Does it sound CREAKY only when first driving in the cold weather? If so then this is totally normal behavior (but not acceptable by most people). There isn't much you can do to fix it... Just grin and bear it for a few bumps til the rubber bushings get warmed up.
All in all, it sounds like you don't have anything seriously wrong... At least you're pro-active about maintenance!
