A Great Car And Something I Enjoy Driving With
Posted April 9th, 2010 at 7:37AM
Okay i didnt find any groups or fanbases on this particular saab car, so i decided to create my own little group for this car. okay so heres my story. I started realising that i needed to get to places by car because i couldnt walk there,because where i live, everything is so far away. so i needed a car and a good one. my dad back when i was about 5 bought this nice red car, it was a saab, the modernised version of the older 900. we loved this car so much because it was my dad's sporty alternative to our massive ford wagon. this car was a 5 speed manual and was faster and sportier than the ford, but maintained its sedan style too, so a balance between a sportscar and a sedan. 15 years later it is now my car, its has only gone through 3 batteries, needed a new indicator bulb, and a new clutch, and seems to be running fine today. i bought if off my dad because i saw its maintenance history through my own eyes and i am familair with this car. i personally think its a great car because it still runs almost as smooth as it did back in the day, and i managed to bring down the economy of the car down so that it doesnt eat heaps of petrol. it feel is smooth, the steering is brilliant, the seats are so damn comfortable, and the look is just plain sexy, even sexier because of its racing red colour. i am in love with my car and i am doomed to see its last days, so far so good, i hope i can own it for as long as i can. a great car. only problems is that the car can be expensive to run, this is mainyl when it comes to replacing parts like the gearbox and clutch for example. the clutch was very expensive to replace, but despite parts, it a great car and is long lasting with a very good engine, and seems to have a simpler engine layout than the older 900, so it shouldnt be too expensive to fixe, especially since i have had a look at alot of other cars from the same period and have an almost exact engine layout, like the transverse engine, the belts and pulleys in the left of the engine, battery at the right and gearbox underneath the engine, so it should be on par with those other cars in terms of repairs and maintenance. only thing is that since its a brand name that speaks class, mechanics tend to enjoy bumping up the price, but you cant fight them, they know how to fix your car anyway. but despite its expensive parts and maintenance, the saab ng900 makes up for that in so many other ways and is one of the best cars i have ever driven. i love that car so much that i plan to tune it up, even though they are very tricky to tune, but its a dream one day, that i will beef up the car and make it a roadwarrior on wheels.
