Oh I dunno...you might like them? Jez opened a thread saying "suggest me a car" so therefore it was suggested.
I knew the chances of him considering one, was exceedingly slim, but the suggestion was there nonetheless!

I dont dislike saab's, but do they even make a large one? They all seem quite small and unsuited to high mileage when compared with motorway cruisers like S-class'/A8/7-series' etc.
Why would you like them
especially over there competition? Come on, defend your point and brand like a man. Saab's do fit the criteria it would seem, I think it was a fair suggestion, just one that is guna be dismissed if what people say about them is true.
Not massively large like the S'class but the 9-3 saloon and 9-5 saloon are both good sized cars. All depends on what you have to carry and how much, do you often fill up your car?
If anything the Saab's are built for Motorway munching, quiet, VERY comfortable, I'm not to up to speed on the latest models but the engines in general have good torque through-out the entire rev-range so you get good pull at most speeds. They will quite happily sit at 70-80 all day long on the motorway. Thing is, second hand - you get a lot of car for your money.
I very nearly sold mine for an updated 53' reg 9-3 Saloon for £4-5k as it only had 30k on the clock but it had been in a flood so worried about internal electrics.
The audio systems in them are good quality and you don't need to be a brainiac to work in the inbuilt computers either.
My arguement in these situations is you do get an awful lot of car for your money, the newer ones are much better on fuel than mine is (that's understandable due to technology blah blah blah) and just because you have £20k doesn't mean you have to spend it.![]()
Take one for a test drive, you may like it!![]()
With respect they make nothing which would be even close to something in the exec class from what i can see, its the wheelbase and suspension technology that dictates how well a car cruises, and without test driving one i know that a little saab will be miles under par really. Thanks for the suggestion all the same though, all are welcome![]()
It's not stupid at all, it's marketing. In many professional services where confidence and quality are converting factors people buy into people, hence the suit. Cars are the same.This one really depends on what you do for a living actually, and the nature of your customers. In the corporate world a cheap car can damage your credibility with many people, stupid though that may be, it is a fact in many sectors. Pull up for dinner with a C club member of a multi national in a £10K rep mobile or old banger and you'd be amazed how attitudes change. People, at this level, take comfort from dealing with people who they percieve to be like them more often than not. I have seen many examples of this over the years and yup, I know its stupid.
