Aero 2.3 HOT 4dr Saloon
Bags of performance and image let down by poor build and reliability
Sold Car in 2009,
Nice car big comfortable powerful, more performance than you could ever need, I dont think the cars are engineered very well though and quality for such an iconic brand was poor. Four years down the line the car started to go wrong, it developed major electrical and Mechanical issues, wiring looms burnt out, electric window motors failed regularly and the most expensive three replacement Turbochargers, I just want to add that this car was not driven into the ground it was well looked after and cared for and maintenance and service schedule followed to the letter.
In 2009 the engine just packed in it had only covered 92K miles, instead of repairing we just sold the car and bought a Honda Accord and we have never looked back, we just put the Saab down to an expensive mistake and error of Judgement. I would never touch a Saab again they are just too temperamental and the engines although outstanding performance wise are not reliable, which is really quite sad .
