Saab 9-3 Linear 1.9 TiD 120 bhp

Rejected this car and sent it back after two months and a series of electric faults and failures, plus it failed to start. The dealer and Saab said the faults were not recorded in the car's computer, so there were no faults to fix! Their advice was to take it away, put up with it, and ring the AA when it didn't start. We gave them back their shed (thanks to leasing company GE Fleet, who were very helpful). Saab cars are cheaply built and unreliable, but very expensive to buy. Frankly I'd rather have a Kia Picanto - at least they start, and are £20K cheaper.

We've now got an Audi A4 Cabriolet instead - it works! Or other car is a Jag X-Type - brilliant to drive and to own. Stay away from Saab.
