  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    I think SAABs speak style without being pretentious. But what it probably says about me is that Its owned by someone who cant afford to run it and is just living the dream.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They like the car but think that I am foolish for getting it as its too expensive to run and service.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes! Would love a new version but only if I could really afford it.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Probably a NIssan Micra!!! Due to my circumstances! Much to my chagrin.
