Yes, if you get a turbo, it's the same motor. The '97 had a few fixes to things that broke on your '95. Otherwise it is nearly identical. There are a few well known items that wear, no real surprises anymore. >also, what is everyone's opinion of the 99 93 and how does >it stack up to my "classic" 95 900!?!?!? Really just a new generation of the new generation 900. All the bugs fixed from the previous serious. Oddly, they did not seem to introduce a whole bunch of new bugs! Has the "advantage" of a hydraulic clutch. >i heard to stay under the year 99 for the 900 series....the V6 engine >i hear is garbage! help me out! The GM V6 requires frequent belt changes (or it goes poof). Most Saabers avoid it. The '99 + 900 (9~3) is a good car. There are a few issues., thanks for the info.....i am looking at buying the 97 900se, buts its a four door. wish me luck.... > >i own a 95 900se turbo five speed coup that was side swiped and am > >considering purchasing a 97 900se five speed four door. can i get [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Saabers avoid it.

But plenty opels use the V6 and I don't hear complaints. Regular 40K belt changes are a must but otherwise it's OK.... The 93 is generally a better car all round the the 94-98 900.....it has a "1000 improvements" - so must be ;-) >saab 4 cylinders are bullet-proof....

Since you lose the motor if it goes, you want to be careful. >The 93 is generally a better car all round the the 94-98 900.....it has a >"1000 improvements" - so must be ;-) I think that when they counted, if they put in a screw, two washers, and a nut as a replacement, that was four improvements. >>saab 4 cylinders are bullet-proof....

It's actually 60k (SAAB schedule), which is pretty standard for timing belts. >>The 93 is generally a better car all round the the 94-98 900.....it has a >>"1000 improvements" - so must be ;-) > > I think that when they counted, if they put in a screw, two washers, > and a nut as a replacement, that was four improvements. The 9^3 sport sedan (2003 and later) was a far bigger improvement over its predecessor than the 9^3 was over the NG900. The *only* downside of the current models is all the dash electronica that seems to come on pretty much all newly designed cars these days...  Signature-Fred W |
