Everyone wants their own rags to riches story, even if they cant quite afford the riches! That's what tends to happen as these cars fall to their 3rd, 4th, and 5th owners... they individually rack up years of deferred maintenance, replacements, etc which all add up to an eye watering amount that would've been manageable if completed over time, when necessary. Can take an awesome car from a fun off road truck to a full restoration project in the span of a weekend. I had an early build US-spec 06 L320 that was phenomenal, and that's due to keeping on top of oil changes and wear items for what was a 10 year old car, at the time, and buying one that had been well kept by it's previous owners.

ahh the torque steer of these old 9-3s. It's what got me really into SAABs. There's nothing quite like it. Great review!! Subbed :)

Has the odometer ticked over to 200000 miles yet?

I have ordered this very car. Hope its as good as you say. I have a home charger fitted and ready. Thank you for explaining what I didn't know. Great review.

I sold mine about 2 months ago and im already planning on getting it back something about that engine🔥 the launches are brutal aswell!

great video, thanks

I’ve got the VZ2 with the sumroof and i love the car,had a few issues with the sunroof but they are sorted now, i only paid £42000 for mine as i bought it when they had just come out.

The first attempt at performance cars ?. Err no. 99 Turbo, 900 T16S, the 9000 Aero ?. Or even the 1992 9000 CS Carlsson which remains the quickest 0-60 Saab ever produced. Paul @ The SAAB Clinic.

if you only charge it to 80% what is the range does it go from maybe 320miles if you drive like a dead man on a day out to 230 miles will I get home if I put the heating on or use the electric seats or the lights or the radio.

Do you like the front of your neck tickled

For a car presenter you know very little about about the car - not knowing why they put plastic trims on the wheels! You need to be more professional. Ps. you're not a real petrol head, you don't know enough about these cars - you're a casual driver that posted a video about a car.

For a video only 4 months old, you have the old model (80x) since you quote 6.5 seconds to 100kph. The new model (85x) which was available when the video was released takes 5.6 seconds to 100kph.

I have a Viggen :)

Loved the SAABs that I’ve owned - including a 9-5 HOT Aero Estate which had the same 2.3 motor and 250bhp I think. And my son loved going to school in our 9-3 convertible with the roof down.

Great anti theft gear selector

My 2001 Saab Viggen convertible has been my daily driver for 13 years. Still a great looking and performing car! FYI - First and second gear is electronically limited to keep you from driving into a hedge. Also, my 2001 does have traction control.

She should sell it to her sister ✌️

I think you look better than the car. :)

shame we dont' get a clubsport in USA. I'll make do with my Type R and S2000 until something better comes out.

Really enjoyed the video! Well done. Just for some "extra credits" (i am a swede and "of the period" were these were all that and a bag of moose steak). Tha major thing with the Viggen was that it was the only combination of the 2,3 Engine and the smaller Chassis, otherwise only the 9000 and later 9-5 had the 2,3. The 9-3 Turbo and Aero made due with the 2.0 That's why These wer SO popular among enthusiasts of the time as the engine could with almost no money invested be boosted to 280+ PS and even then they were under-stressed. Enjoying the content good work!

Great video! More Saabs please!!

Owned one back in the 90s downfalls, severe scuttle shakes especially with the roof down, brake's and suspension nowhere near up to the power, very thirsty, but i still loved it. Could i be tempted again? Possibly

It's so easy to drive this car I think I saw a dog drive it but definitely a 12-year-old boy £45000 for a hatchback 😂😂 and 3000 + for an exhaust with a 4 pot 2 l doesn't even sound good, waste of money

Great video,my selection of convertibles my 1st one is Mercedes CLK 320 I've owned it 8 years. Then have 4 Vauxhall Astra Bertone 2.2/1.8 52 plate and 04 plate and one twin top 07 plate all in blue. My modern convertible is Cascada 2.0 on 13 plate. Also in my collection Ford Transit high top 14 plate an Audi A6 2.7 TDI what a cool car fast automatic diesel and my Jaguar 2001 4.0 LWB. Born in Coventry in 1964 on Tamworth Road I love Jaguars

Seems to morph itself from RHD to LHD too. Joking aside , love these Saabs , Viggen is an outstanding if hooligans car , performance wise.

The biggest difference was the Viggen had the 2.3 turbo charged engine the rest had the 2.0 engine. Saab were the masters of the turbo chargers before everyone else got on board.

Huge Saab fan here Amelia and so pleased you made this video. I wanted you to make the video longer :-) My brother had a Viggen from new in lighting blue with that Abbot Racing Kit - a phenomenal car. Please do make more Saab videos (Like your dad’s one) and other classic cars. Pleased to have found your channel.

I have a 2018 petrol SQ5, a great car! Personally not a fan of the sportback although that green is a great colour!

As the owner and ex owner of around 10 Saabs now, some how a Viggen is one of the main ones I have owned. Your sister will regret selling this. P.s as a young (ish) Saab owner, is she single? 😂

Great car. I think there was also a 9-3 turbo X too. 276 bhp?? I could be wrong.

Er, the fast Saab YOU didn’t know existed! 😂

I love the fact that your sister is just whipping this bit of motoring history around!

Addendum. Older cars, why not. Old Citroens...🤔 Remember when I was a young kid my Dad used to say they were a vehicle ahead of their time. The old ones were. 👍

I'd forgotten about the Viggen editions. 🤷

How can regeneration slowing a car be any different to gentle braking? Probably the uneasy feeling is just not being as relaxed when driving a new system.

I've just purchased the Style in New Zealand. I've noticed a few differences in other countries. We don't have the v6 , 4 auto options and I see the tail lights are different as well. I enjoy driving mine and the only fault I wish one could turn the engine stop/start off permanently.

I definitely do like the look of this electric car so would buy if I had the money n great video by the way

If anyone is interested in doing a review on my e46 330ci, convertible m-sport let me know. Thanks

Yep, Skoda +1

The looks are pulling on my heartstrings. It does look special.

So the Skoda Enyaq is better than yet another of its siblings, the worst being the VW id4.

Range Rover, or in that case , ANY ¨Rover¨ word and the word reliability can not go together... they just don´t match, sadly!

great review

that screen is horrendous for driver and passenger unless the core market is people who are long-sighted

Interior screams cheap. They need to figure out a way to provide quality with a 50K car or lose their business to the chinese. I see no easy days for European car manufacturers.

Overstyled. Overpriced. Electric. It’s a no from me.

big wheels are style over substance, e.g. 21" on Telsas make them ride less well and get lower range, also more expensive tyres and they wear quicker, assuming it's the same situation here even if I cared about how they look (which I don't) these factors would put me off, I think 19s are fine on SUVs

Excellent video 👏🏼 smashed it! Lots and lots of info!

Please dont film with a phone blur looks so bad not natural.....good review though and Skoda no thanks

VW Group quality has declined significantly in the last 5 years , even Audi their premium car, has poor plastic and average spec as std.. they have dropped standards and increased prices significantly.. we are paying for the cost of diesel gate .. €31.b .i believe the claim of Chinese dumping low price cars in Europe is a red herring.. they are to protect high prices to ensure that VW can sustain volumes ..
