Faults:

I love this car. I bought this car early last year 2006. I really never had any major problems with it. I've maintained it very well. Until just recently about 2 weeks ago.

I went home for lunch from work. The car was working perfectly fine at this point. Then, as I'm leaving to go back to work, it doesn't want to turn on (I didn't leave any lights on in the car at all, nothing left open etc). I get a jump and right away it starts like normal. Didn't think nothing of it. No more problems, so I thought, until 2 days later.

My car wouldn't start unless I got a jump, so I did and now my car shut off as I was driving. That happened twice. I got it towed, also twice that day.

The place I took it to get checked out, swore it was the battery. Got a new battery and nope, not the problem, because the exact same thing is still happening. I asked if it could be anything else fuel system etc. they said they checked everything, whole electrical system and everything looked good.

So now my car is sitting at home and I have no idea what the problem can be. I want to take it to the Saab dealership, but I know that's going to cost me an arm & a leg. If anyone else has any idea what this problem may be, please contact me asap. Email: nioce1120@yahoo.com

Nothing at all has gone wrong with this car.

Deceptively quick car.

Ultimate street sleeper.

Very practical car, usable boot, rear seating and front seating.

Ergonomics are great.

Seats are unrivalled!!

General Comments:

Where do I start? I'm a young male with some cash burning a hole in my pocket. I want something fairly quick, but cant be too lairy due to nature of my job needing me to look like I am a normal individual, as opposed to a boy racer.

Looking through the Autotrader, I came across this Saab 93 AeroHOT. I thought why not? The bhp figure seems ok (205) and it's known as a sensible executive car, and totally different from the usual BMW and Merc offerings that people my age are all trying to buy.

I saw it at the dealership and was impressed. From certain angles the car looks very average and mundane. However there are other angles which make you stop and look twice. Love it!

However what you would love even more is the driving experience! Yes I know everywhere you read about how it's got so much torque steer, and how it is not class leading when it comes to handling. But the fact that no one looks at it with any kind of fear is great when you smoke them off the lights! 0-60 just under 7 seconds is not bad for a car of this type. Not many other cars can keep up with it, gears 3 & 4 are automotive orgasms! The thrust and the speedo needle rushing round the counter to catch up with the rev counter needle is intoxicating! All whilst sitting in leather heated seats!

In all honesty NW London roads mean you wont ever have the chance to push the handling to the limits, therefore it is a very good car to drive.

Fuel wise it is not too bad if driven sensibly, but the urge to whip past cars can leave you seeing 19mpg on the computer screen! Gulp!

I just love to see the faces of people when they look at your car in awe and shock, and realise they got owned!!
