1,000 mile review in a Turbo X
I’d just like to post a quick invitation for you all to head on over to Beren’s blog and check out his first 1,000 miles in his Saab Turbo X.
Beren’s car was the first US delivery we covered here at TS.
What’s great about this is that Beren’s story is one we’d love to hear a lot more of. He’s new to Saab having owned other makes previously. He’s shopped a few different vehicles and ended up with a Saab Turbo X, which he thinks is absolutely brilliant:
I’m not Motor Trend or Road & Track or whatever; I’m a “regular” driver: this car is amazing. It is definitely is the best car I’ve ever driven, much less owned.
How many times have you heard, or said yourself, that the only thing that’s stopped more people from buying Saabs is that they don’t know about them, or haven’t driven one?
There’s a few minor down-sides as well, so it’s not all beer n skittles. Many of those can be fixed with just a few tweeks of the controls though, and the experience has been overwhelmingly positive for Beren, who seems like a very satisfied customer.
There’s still around 300 or so X’s left in the US market. Go get yours

Regarding the 9-1.. Is this a confirmation that the project has got the green lights? Whats your opinion Swade? Eggs? Anyone? Bring this up in under the 9-1 threads please.
