Economy
Value
Imported direct from Sweden in Jan '02. Huge savings made then, but in 2004 not worth the effort as Saab UK competing aggressively now!
Costs
In 33,000 miles, have only had to pay for normal servicing.

Driving
Sportiest Saab I've ever had. Lowered suspension means hugs road. Very nifty 0-60 in under 7 secs.
Performance
This one really motors!

Pretty impressive deadlocks etc. You get the impression they would nick another make first.
Service
Saab Haymill Service is probably the single main reason why I have continuously purchased Saabs since 1976.
