    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent value for money. Find a good independent, try the owner's club for a list.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not cheap to run, but quality costs money.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A little tight on the power steering first thing in the morning.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Showing its age and 130k miles, but still goes well.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Use SAAB quality replacements and it should be reliable for lots more miles to come.

    Slowly creeping up to cult car status.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comes into its own on a long trip.

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Poor, but a large chunk of yellow or red iron across the steering wheel is still an effective deterrent.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Can't comment, never seen the inside of a Saab dealer.
