It's the petrol 2.0 T Aero.

Very happy so far, but not really driven it that far yet.

Very quick with 210 bhp, and figures claim the MPG to be identical to my old 1.8T. Shall see over the coming weeks how true that is I guess

Default love lost.....

Hello Pete. Sorry it all went wrong car wise. The Saabs were a good fun and safe car, but as most cars suffer weaknesses my experience with many others was DI cartridge failure. Or better known as coil pack. They let go with no warning at all. I'd get a spare one to carry in the car from a breakers. They cost a fortune when my 9000 cs carlsson stopped. But they are a nice motor to drive if looked after.
Hope she serves you well.
John.

My best mate ran an 03 9-3 Aero to 155k, it liked a drink and the last 20k miles were ruinous. Lovely when they are working right though. His had Hirsch map, brakes and springs. Very rapid midrange!

Enjoy it.
