Wow!!!
What a fantastic thread. This sort of stuff belongs on the main forum. Gentlemen discussing the pros and cons of two fine cars.
I had a Saab 900 before getting the Scoob . It was only a light pressure turbo but went ok.
The day I test drove the Scoob for the first time I was blown away and bought the car there and then. I was that impressed (I had previously been looking at getting an integra type R).
I have had the car now for 18 months but each day it feels like I've just bought it. I never even dreamed of having this sort of fun in the Saab (I know, it goes without saying).
Anyway, for all the Scoobs plus points I still occasionally feel that there is something missing.
It's a little button on the dashboard that dims the instrument panel lights when I'm on the motorway at night! (I loved that little button!!!)
(Theres also the fact that you could hear even a womans fart in the saab at 120mph whereas I'm currently having to upgrade the sound system in the Scoob just so I can hear my music on the motorway!...and servicing was a lot cheaper too and they always gave me a decent courtesy car, and the paint didn't fall of in large sheets and the interior didn't squeek like a dogs toy)
I may consider buying another Saab after the Scoob, as the new shape really lacks the raw rally appeal, especially when you see so many with those lame "sports" seats. For me its buckets or nothing. If I want something a little more sophisticated I'll go for the Saab......if I've still got a license by then!
If I lose my license then I'll probably each mid life crisis age by the time I get a new car, so I'll probably go for an Evo.
