Living with it
Reliability
Direct Ignition failed at 99,000. Cost between £180 to £250, shop around. Clutch plate, at 8 years old, the whole exhaust will need doing, extremely costly.
Image
Coupe looks sportier than 5 door, still not bad though.
Comfort
Very comfortable, the leather is top quality.

Security and Service
Security
Too good! Keep spare batteries for remote! You NEED two remotes in case one fails. Immobiliser is excellent yet annoying.
Service
Got screwed by my local independent dealer. Face it, why take it to a SAAB specialist to get a stamp? Look how cheap they're getting, it'll be worth £500 in 2 years time.
