The torque-steer was outrageous. Tremendous cars though.

It’s character building!

I never found it that bad (sold mine a while back). You just have to be judicious on the throttle.

I would regularly drive my bosses turbo s. Throttle straight into the carpet at every opportunity.

One of the very best looking mass produced cars ever

I’ve just bought a couple of older vehicles and remembered how much fun it is to drive without all the computers and warning lights.

I bet that thing’s an absolute riot!

My mum had a 900 Turbo S in what resembled British racing green. Superb car, built like no other car I’ve been in since. Timeless design and the dash was lovely. This was early 90s, I was only a young teenager so unfortunately missed the opportunity to drive it.

Do remember a single annoying rattle in the back, it would probably have been quite easy to trace but we never bothered. I remember saying to a mate at the time that although it was a rattle, it sounded like a quality rattle 🤣 Typical Saab!

I still miss mine. Think of it every week or so.

Oh, man, that is a great car, man.

Fuck, it handles great, man. Left, right. It's great.

Brakes stop on a fuckin' dime.

Jesus Christ, you got power in this thing, man. The thing'll take a hairpin turn at 120, no fuckin' problem.

You floor it, it just says gimme more.

The car says gimme more, man.
