i have a close friend that drives a SAAB aero, (not sure what year, its looks fairly new) The car was prepped by abborts racing, in which SAAB dealers will actually recommend to you as a tuner etc.. (all work undertaken by abborts is spot on)... thinks its near to 300bhp. Weighs almost 2 tonne tho! Handles well for such a boxy car. Interior is "VERY" dull tho as advised above the build quality is 100%. he had an old standard aero before hand, a 2.3T which went round the clock twice! It never gave him any problems at all. I think thats why he went for a newer shape, as they are so reliable! its a comfortable ride also... you dont know your doing 130 until you look down at the clock!
