Saab 9000 Hatchback 2.3 Turbo CS Aero 5d (1993/L) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Alot of car for the money. The Aero is loaded and for the money the performance is outstanding.
Costs
Fuel consumption is pretty good. Parts can be found cheap if you're prepared to look.

Driving
When you first get behind the wheel it completely blows your socks off. Once you get used to it, it can be a pleasure to drive. Just be careful… It's a lot of power for a front wheel drive car!
Performance
225bhp and a torque curve to complete with any serious sports car.

Living with it
Reliability
My car has now covered over 220k miles (with a good service history) they do go wrong like any other car but not very often if looked after.
Image
Seen generally as a Swedish sof, but after owning one you soon realise that it can hold its own against all of the cars in its class
Comfort
The Aero CS has some of the most comfy bucket seats you'll come across... Front and in the back!

Security and Service
Security
Never had a problem but asking around they do have a reputation for not being the easiest car to drive away.
Service
Main dealer servicing is expensive. Stay to the specialists as not only do they know what they are doing and tend to be well priced but this is the kind of car that you don't take to the local garage
