The hatchback is HUGE inside, I hauled pipe, lumber, etc with mine.


Don't buy an old Saab if you are thinking it will help you LAY pipe with your lumber.



But, yeah, they'll haul big stuff in the hatch.... like the deuce you pick up at the bar at last call.
Rofl. Big girls need lovin too!

So a Merkur is the hot ticket? I did think about one but the interior is a little too "80's Ford". They can be had for cheap and the engine can be modified easily.

I would say SAAB was okay before GM took over...despite the torque steer and somewhat odd looks. After GM took over, build quality seems to be a little worse.

They're kind of cool. Sort of like early '90s Alfas.

Had a couple 900 Turbos and an SPG... GREAT cars.

Just loved them, especially the SPG.

Thought it went like stink... then I drove a 951... wow...
