The Sweeds don't halve know how to build a car.

Sold the scoob, and was going to get a convertible. But I am enjoying what I term as bangor/value for money motoring at the moment so picked up this yesterday. Its covered 133K miles and strong and as solid as the day is left the showroom. Build quality to rival audi and BMW and one of my favourite shapes and seems to be the one to have in the Saab world of fanatics.

Its been breathed on by Abbot motorsport, with Koni top mount adjustables, sports cat, ECU, and lots of braces to keep the thing in check, and help with the torque steer. Its running approx 250bhp and a shed load of torque through the front wheels. With boost coming in really early at 2K or possibly less. Taking into consideration 2wd losses, its makes for a really rapid road car and suprised the hell out of me, and this is my 3rd Saab now. But by far the best in every regard. Fully leather, all the toys including ice cold aircon, cruise, multi changer, climate, so not to shabby in the creature comforts department. Only thing its misses is the 4wd, but lots of power through the front wheels adds to the fun.

Im a fan of sweedish cars, had 2 volvo 850 t5s a few years back. First one i had was at 17 and was circa 280bhp, the second was circa 300.... huge amounts of torque, 5 pot engine is great and they go on forever. Shame they handle like poo! Your Saab looks good, i thought about an old 900 turbo a while back.

Definately marmite cars in the looks department, and perhaps its my advancing years and love of 80's cars. But I much prefer this shape to the later saloon shape. And would love a 900 turbo. The abbot suspension stuff makes a huge difference to the handling and turns a car that don't handle into something pretty good. But its certainly not scoob handling.

But then its allot more comfortable, and refined than a scoob, and still gives a serious thump in the back, I'm sure its not but because of the turbo thump and torque it actually feels quicker than the M3. 3rd Gear overtaking power on the car is immense.

Even with its handling/suspension mods any more power in this car would be plain nuts and just dangerous I hate to imagine what some of these Seat Leons must be like running over 300bhp..

Hate to dissapoint, and I know I've said it before but if it don't let me down then this one might just be a keeper.....
