I used to drive an 87 900s. Loved that car! Sadly was in an accident. I was unscathed. I was told the car saved me from severe injuries or worse. Solid as a rock indeed.
Not driven by crazy people? Apparently he hasn't been to America, we USE our turbo over here in our Saabs. Mines pushing into the red all the time, and she keeps going at 203,000 miles!
white smoke at the back? White smoke is condensation or a HG. what an idiot, it's blue smoke and you don't do it in the shop, you take it down a hill and let the car engine brake. I like how they have a guy saying the engines and gearboxes are bomb proof, then 5 minutes later they're talking about pinion whine hahah
@VTS1337 The car you see Tiff Needell driving at the beginning of the video is a 900 but he then goes on to test drive the 93. It's an early '98 model on a UK 'R' plate. You're correct in saying this is 'old' Top Gear though. Tiff used to co-present on the show along with Jeremy Clarkson. When BBC cancelled the old show he moved to Channel 5 to present their motoring show, Fifth Gear, and Clarkson re-formed Top Gear with new presenters, Richard Hammond and James May.
Saab is the coolest car ever. I have an 08 9.3 and I will never, ever, ever and I mean EVER drive anything else. I will change this beautiful car for another SAAB.
@worldofmp3 ive had 3 900's. first time i EVER got in one, i take key and go for hte usual place. wel, no key slot, im confused as an unknowing person would be. im likeWTFH? then i find it in the centre. im like WHOA. instant cool points there
hehe a friend of mine had exactly the same thing! and then he found out that when he parked into 1st gear, the key wouldn`t come out the ignition... No dude, put it in reverse! and he was again like WTH?!? xD
Mercedes made the worst cars ever during the fusion with Chrysler - Finally they lost 80 Billion until they sacked the americans. Saab should have done the same with GM.
Do your homework and then you will find out Tiff also worked for the BBC on TOP GEAR! Also he drove my Dads TVR Tuscan Challange racing car at Brans one year in the 90's! ; ) Just thought I would slip that in I hope no one noticed haha!
Glad to be getting my own 86 900. Fun all around. :)

There are one or two minor points I would like to raise:
1: It's Top Gear, not Fifth Gear.
2: IT'S A SAAB 900, not a 9-3

Glorious autos. I swear I'd own one just to have the ignition on the center console =oP I drive a Volvo S70 Turbo, woot for the Swedes!

I totally agree :)
I drive an old Saab 90 myself, really fantastic!
You must park it in rear, because it won`t start if you don`t :)
And of course, the ignition on the center console, I also love it, it`s typically Saab :)

No, this is the "old" Top Gear back before it was cancelled. Tiff & co were still on it, they then went to make Fifth Gear.
