“It just performs better than most.”

Forget Born From Jets, Move Your Mind or State of Independence, we have Saab’s new catchphrase right there.

That is a great review and you just have to appreciate someone that gets the utility of the wagon. I rarely use the dash cupholder, as the one in the center console seems a bit more stable. Perhaps he missed it or the manual trans shifter was in the way?

One thing I really appreciate in this cooler weather is the heated seats – what a great option that is.

He definitely must be dipping into the turbo quite a bit at 20mpg, but you are going have that. I am currently at around 23.5mpg which may be attributed to a more relaxed driving style since a Middleburg Heights police officer kindly informing me I was enjoying my turbo a bit too much. Maybe I need to be using that speed alarm as well….

One of the few who gets it! Great write-up, not because I am in love with the product or have lived with it for many years, but purely because he wrote the truth from his real life experience. In any case, the negative of the coffee mug issue is really irrelevant as I for one, still need a place to buy the darn coffee from to complain in the first place about the size of the cupholder.

In the pictures you´ll find a pic of TTiD engine and discription of Saab´s two liter petrol.

Otherwise, great write – right from the headline!
