1995 SAAB 900 i s coupe 2.0 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A car that's smart and stylish for its age, but parts can be expensive
Faults:
The brake switch failed at 85,000 miles.
The Radiator expired at 79,000.
Whole exhaust system went at the same time.
Sump plug was threaded during service and is "very" expensive to repair.
General Comments:
Generally quite a nice car, quick enough and very sturdy.
Massive boot space.
Just expensive to repair!
Quiet thirsty is slow moving traffic.
Car is let down by a pathetic space saving spare wheel.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

It is very true that Saab handles very well in the snow. I live in Maine on a very steep hill. I put a pair of snow tires on it, and I never once was stuck walking up that hill. I have a 95 900s and it made it up even when my neighbors truck wouldn't.
I haven't had my timing belt changed ever, and it has over 130000 miles on it.
Fuel filters are a normal maintenance thing; just replaced mine, but didn't get it from the dealer, try finding it elsewhere, it's a lot cheaper.
