Finally, we got a Saab! This is a ...sports...car? Not really, it's a car with a handbrake that goes to the front wheels because Europe or some such reason. And, what's up with the electrical tape over the headlights?

I've been waiting for Mr. Regular's take on the Classic 900 for a while. However, it was really disappointing to see him talk ad nauseam about all the stupid things the owner did to this car and the e-brake setup prior to 1988. There's some incredibly unique engineering under the hood of this vehicle that he never touched upon: (A reversed slant 4 in a FWD config sitting on top of the gearbox, top of the gearbox is the oil sump, how the boost controller for the turbo is basically an analog computer, etc.)

When we were young, a friend used his stepmom's SAAB to drive us around. It had this terrific "night mode" that turned off all the lights-- fumble on your own to find the auto window winder. The only lights on the car were the very tip of the speedometer and the few MPH increments in between to tell speed. You don't need your fuel dial screaming at you at night that you have a filled tank. You don't need your oil light blinding you that your oil pressure and temps are nominal. I think this is a really missed out feature, especially now that everyone has television screens in their car pointed right at your face yelling, "Yo, check out all this regulatory information you can't ignore, and even if you do, I'mma illuminate a crapload of buttons even after you want me out of your life!"

As a Saab owner, I am so happy that you got an owner who really captured what it's like to own one - you spend 95% of the experience explaining how to drive it, why it's different from other cars, and generally making it a point to tell you that it's as delicate and finicky as a cat with abandonment issues. While I agree that there isn't a violently fervent Saab owner collective, I would argue that as far as loyalty goes, Saab owners are the worst. Saab owners usually own several of them. They get their families Saabs. They spend insane money locating price-gouged parts from overseas locations to fix that one little thing that doesn't exist on any other car. They're hyper-aware of their car, and can explain every little noise and nuance of it. To drive and own a Saab is to be aware of a vehicle like few will ever know. All that being said, they're absolute disasterpieces and I would never wish one on my worst enemy.

There's this guy in my home town who has like 15 Saab 900s. Idk how he's getting away with it but he's basically an entire block's worth of street parking. Almost all of them are gutted so idk if he's using them for parts. But the strangest part is that it's in the DC suburban area where all these obnoxious, whinny, upper middle class, people live. They're the type of upper middle class where they try to act down to earth while being scared by anything remotely abnormal. So I'm surprised this guy hasn't been told to move them. But either way I'm here for it.

This was by far my favorite car. The turbo is fun and sounds cool. No, it's not very fast, but the way the power comes on makes it fun to drive. It has a ton of storage, way more than it looks like. I could fit my snowboard in the hatch without folding the seat down. The heater is amazing (important in MN), and it goes through the snow better than anything I've ever driven, including trucks and suvs. And if driven reasonably it got surprisingly good mileage too, close to 40 highway. I will always miss my old 86 900 Turbo.

In the sixties, teams would paint the bonnets in matt black so in safari rallies, the sun light wouldn't glare & blind the driver. It became a fashion thing later on, like you could order a Mk1 Ford Capri with a satin black bonnet from the factory because rallyisms

Oh man, my parents had one of these when they got married. Exact same model, engine, model year, interior, and manual transmission, except theirs was white. They got it because they were stationed in Germany for my dad's job and needed something reliable. They still talk about how much they love it, they spent a long time driving it across Europe. They got it going pretty fast in the Autobahn and had 4 people and a dog sitting in it comfortably. Some of it might be nostalgia, but these are very reliable cars. My dad's boss at the time is the one who recommended they buy a Saab. He owned one and told them this story that when he was driving through the snow, he spun out and rolled it. But Saabs are built incredibly sturdy, they practically have a rollcage built into the body frame. It landed on its wheels and the engine was still running, so he just put it back into 1st gear and headed off to the nearest service station. If he were in any other car he might have died.

I'm not sure that 99s or 900s '93 or older ate head gaskets more than the average car. Though my SAAB expertise lies mainly with 96s and 95 V4s and 2-strokes. But yeah, this guy never ever goes into any useful details. Mainly he likes to hear himself say strange "clever" comments.

how bout a review with a Saab 9 5 ?
@Ricktovoice Жыл бұрын
I own a 1993 Saab 900 turbo Convertible, and i keeps it clean and running well. I am a bit of a Saab Snob, but I think this video is Brilliant! Almost a masterpiece. It showed me the opposite side of Saab ownership. And while I don't ever want mine to look like that, it's still a SAAB to me. LOVE IT!

reverse drifting. all kidding aside, I myself am not sure why that's the case either. afaik, a lot of 90s and older cars are set up that way (remember the handbrakes that were next to the driver's knee that you had to pull and turn to release? yeaaaaah.) maybe it was just the way the car was designed?
@TommiNummelin9 жыл бұрын
thetableflip It's an anti-theft mechanism. Removing the key from ignition locks the shifter in reverse, so to make nicking them wheels a bit more difficult.
@remic21969 жыл бұрын
TheS2Guy No idea why they did it but if you think about it most of the weight of a car moves to the front when braking, if the regular brakes would fail it would be more effective to brake on the front rather then on the rear. It would also help against theft since it blocks the driving wheels.

I miss SAAB cars. The death of the company really had extra bad timing. The new 9-5 had just been launched with the station wagon just ready but not really out yet. The 9-4X would have been an important model for SAAB but it just came out when the company went under.

GM did not know what they were buying when they bought SAAB. If they knew they bought the largest prototype workshop in the world, they would have been successful, but they thought they just bought a label to slap on their other bland cars. That is why SAAB failed.

In 1998, I bought a 88' SPG from a saab mechanic that had rebuilt the entire car ( New HG, Every bushing in the front end replaced with poly, and he tuned the APC aka chip) I put the 9000 Super Aero rims with 215-40-16 nitto's on it and had it painted top to bottom in 85' Mazda crimson metallic... The car was the nicest car in southern Vermont... Would pin the speedo needle past the 145mph mark onto the odo reset button 5 people deep and with every window+sunroof open. The day after I got it painted, I parked it right in front of my highschool that morning and by the end of the day, I was a celeb... even the armpit hair laden French teacher came out to tell me it was the nicest car she had ever seen ( she drove a mk2 GTI, lived in Europe and knew cars). I drove it 8 years and 120k until VT winters killed it at 260k. By far the best 4k investment I could have ever made. Panty's hit the floor on the daily. On vacation in Myrtle beach and cruising the "strip", I had some mustang driver ask me what a Porsche Saab was? ( Dude thought it was a Porsche!!) The SPG version of the 900 came with a body kit, lowered/stiffer springs, oversized sway bars and pushed more boost to 185hp ( mine was somewhere around 215-225 ). Do not let this pig sway your view on the 900.. any post 88' 900 had all the ugly things fixed and had potential to cheaply be made into a neck braking ride.. Google Image a SPG after 88'... Rust free, they are $8k cars now. Ahhh.... memories

As a Saab guy I have been waiting for one to appear on Regular Car Reviews. As for the looks of the particular machine - I love my Saabs original, with visual modifications being very subtle and minor, that would add to the overall picture. Seeing a nice original Saab, that hides its power (I'm from eastern Europe, so yes, most punks from my age (21) with their old 3 series BMWs get smoked here) under silent aggression, only hinted by small details, gives me a small but certain fuzzy feeling. Something like, seeing your current crush, who looks very ordinary and pale, but is classy and very special and lovely to you.... and makes your Johnson tingle in excitement.
