Yep. I bought the GT4, because I like cars that have been competition
based (yes I know it was the 99, not the 900 that Saab rallied), so my
love of old Skodas, Saabs in rally and rallycross, and now the GT4. It
is good, but even producing more power, it feels soft because of the AWD
absorbing more. It doesn't have that wonderful lag, build, boom of a T3
coming on boost that gives such a wonderful kick in the back.

I liked the "dynamically old" feel of the car. A friend was looking to
buy mine (but found a turbo technics twin turbo 4x4 V6 sierra for £600
that just needed some minor electrical work). He took it out for a spin.

His description was it looks and feels old, but drives new (and that was
with 20 years wear and tear and 135k miles on it). I described it as
classicly refined sporting.

I didn't drive the Saab for while after I got the GT4, but even though a
T16S is physically very low to the ground, after the GT4, getting into
the driving seat of the 900 felt like climbing up into a truck. Although
after about 10mins it felt like driving a really luxury cruiser again. I
guess I means I must own a 900 again, preferably a T16 convertable.
