All I need now is a ladder on the roof and I'll complete my look. Overall: Bought a used new (w 9000 miles). So far, excellence with my kids...

Saab 9000 saved our lives
Source: Edmunds

...We loved this car, and it saved our lives in a wreck, in Belgium.
We wrecked ~ 110-120 km/h (on highway) with cement wall! and we hadn't a problem!!! The policemen, the firemen, and the ers said it's unbelievable, they never seen before it...

Green Mazda

...Pros: Looks great, even more than 10 years later. Nice interior.
Handles really good and is pretty fast. Cons: I paid $9000 canadian to buy it and spent $12000 in repairs over the next four years.
Then I got absolutely hammered on it when I finally got fed up and sold it.
Most unreliable car I've ever had. Back seat is suitable for children only.
Overall: Get it checked out thorouly before buying, Repairs are expensive.
Not fast off the line, but good punch at higher speeds. I used to cruise effortlessly at 160 or 180 km/h and once took it to 205 km/h without any fuss...

Lots of car for the money
Source: Edmunds

...9000's are among the best deals out there right now.
You can get a last-year of production (1998) or anything from the 90's and the car you get for the money paid makes it a superb deal.
It's hard to understand the relatively low prices,
as these Saabs are easily the equivalent of similarly aged BMWs or Audis, and even the base model (CS) has more features than the average German cars of the 90's.
It is true that finding a servicing mechanic can be a challenge, and replacement parts are definitely not cheap, but there's nothing unexpected in that.
Overall, I highly...

Good machine

..."Good machine but repair and maintnance should not be done at dealer's as fees are way out of line.This vehicle has an excellent Saab mechanic with his private shop.
Great work when it is needed without breaking the owner of the car."...

Used Luxuary on the cheap
Source: Edmunds

...A very solid car with few problems, except the automatic traction control device.
A major pain, but not enough to spoil the fun. Especially great deal used, as they have a greater depreciation value than a volvo...

#8
Wonderful piece of engineering
Source: Edmunds

...Very few problems with this vehicle even for it's age.
Just normal wear and tear. Very good design overall.
Happy with performance and power. It would be nicer if there was a traction control button.
A few upgrades and this would be the perfect vehicle for me, all within the right price range. Holds it's own to luxury cars of today...

OUCH poster = Total LIAR
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: There is one guy on this board who continues to post review after review under different names.
He obviously hates the MINI and makes up stories about it.
His latest involves $9000 worth of damage to his car, this is totally false as NO MINI dealership has a record of this!
This poster simply lies! And he's being called out on it.
Notice how his postings all read about the same and never include information like what state he is in, what dealership the wrecked car is at or anything else!
What a loser! Overall: The MINI Cooper is barnone the BEST 20k car on the...

Great Car

...If you ever get the change to take one for a test drive .. be very careful .. you just might find yourself owning one. That's what happened to me...
