the GM saab with the oldschool swede 4 cyl engine are tough as rocks. They have a few weak points

1 the steering rack is a bit vague because its mounted with bubblegum bushings
2 the HVAC box air flap thing fails - it looks like a toilet roll holder - the problem is the HVAC box itself.
3 rear visibility when backing up is ZERO - best install a camera

the pros

1 - the engine ages like MB engines
2 - the transmission is a toyota unit
3 - the cargo space is insane - think wagon like
4 - SAAB didnt pay attention to the cost cutting class of GM
5 - Its built by Trolls in Trollhattan
