Yeah.

I learned to drive a manual transmission on a 1983 900S. White with brown velour seats and a black dash.

PLUSES:
-Extremely safe.
-Some of the best ergonomics of any car I've driven. Switches fall more easily to hand than in the W126.
-Better interior materials than any Volvo of that period.
-A certain iconoclastic quirkiness that any Saab seems to have.
-With racks on top, and studded tires underneath, and a heated driver's seat, the perfect skiing car.
-Not as common as Mercedes-Benz by far!
-Turbos have guts. Drive a 900 Turbo manual and see what I mean.

MINUSES:
-Both manual and automatic transmissions aren't exactly paragons of durability (in the classic pre-94 Saab 900).
-Rubbery shift linkage on the manual. Not like a Getrag 5-speeder in an E30 Bimmer.
-Electrical quirks. My car attempted to start itself one day and backed out of our driveway solely on the power of the starter motor.
-Old Saab 900s are quite small in the interior. Pretty narrow.

Hmmm, that's all I can think of now.
