(2,354 posts)I started with a Saab 9000 Turbo, which was a great car. Drove it until it was totaled in an accident that would have killed anyone in anything else besides maybe a Volvo. They were super safe. After that I started buying Saab 9000 Aeros, the high performance version of the 9000. I got them used from all over the country. All the 9000s had great geometry and terrific handling. The Aero was incredibly quick Plus they were hatchbacks so you could stick a chest of drawers in there. Great engineering, great manufacturing, super reliable. Also super comfortable with incredible leg room in the back seat. Then Chrysler bought them and destroyed a great brand. If you can find one, buy it. There are enthusiast shops that can keep them on the road where they eat similarly equipped BMWs and Audis.
