    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    If purchased 'pre-enjoyed', these are a real bargain.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    29-33mpg from a 2-litre turbo is not bad.

    It does roll a bit, but the comfort is superb. The later models (T onwards) handle more crisply.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Adequate, but they can be tuned by Saab or others: a simple re-chip job.
