I have had a SAAB 99 and a 900 model, and loved them with a passion.
They make more and more sense the longer you own them. Extremely comfy, though you wouldn't know it by casual glance. The driving positon is like sitting in a chair and this is a super way to drive! It seems like it is just easier to see things this way. And the wrap around windshield just adds to this most engaging experience. Heated seats and an interior you can actually carry a refridgerator in. Brilliant car.
Interior quality on a par with Volvo, not great.
Overheating caused by crummy connector to aux fan-change it to a Toyoto connector, the ones with an O-ring !

You won't know directional stability until you drive one of these.

Cheap to buy too, I mean reaaalllly cheap.
Easy to work on too.
