Just another silly feature on my 2004 SAAB 9-3 Aero.

If I knew you, I probably would not like you.

@greenteacamo

Oh sure you would.

You have to love the quirkiness of these cars. The fact that it is so different is what makes it so appealing.

@AWKman259

That's one reason I regret selling the car. I love quirks like this. They really give the car some character.

Hmm. I wonder if my 2K's speedo has a dead bulb.. never had it over 75 with the lights on.

[VooDooXII]

@capitalistpigdogus

There is a separate bulb for that section of the speedometer, so it's possible.

@capitalistpigdogus in the setting on the controll thing you can choose were its illuminated up to. my full speed gauge is litup and the turbo gauge (costum) the rest is dim

@VooDooXII Same with my 1999 Saab 9-3. It will go through a full coolant in about 2 days. But you can't make it burn oil. It's got 137,000 miles on it. It's a great car

I dunno, I was driving in a snowstorm at night last week and turned my night panel on (2005 9-5 sportkombi). I found it alleviated that tunnel vision effect you get while driving in snow a bit, or at least it helped me focus.

Got the same feature on my 900 and it's useless.

I love the car for its weirdness too! Especially that transforming cup holder. Got my friends head spinning when they first saw it in action. Too bad it doesn't want to hold their freakishly large Coke cup. Saab makes you feel like you are in a cockpit of a jet fighter, due to all the complicated buttons. Almost got into an accident by just tinkering with the illuminated buttons. Nevertheless, great car, just gotta watch out for the turbo though. Mad expensive to fix.
