<p>Diesel Estate. Quite a nice car. It's not as nice inside as the Saab 9-5 Estate, but after the abismal service we have received from Saab, and the fact that we have lost £12000 to them, we felt it was time to move on. <br>
There aren't leather seats unless you pay a few thousand more (which we don't have), so your bum sticks. There is no tape deck, no ACC unless you pay more, and the dashboard reminds me of a Ford Fiesta. But it is cheaper than any offers for new cars we've had from Saab, is new rather than the second-hand cars they were trying to give us, and is cheaper to run (being diesel and 5 insurance groups below the Saab). <br>
I'll be sad to see the Saab go, but after the trouble it's given us there's nothing else we can do. <br>
The streamed videos of the TV appearances have now been taken down from The Ferret site, but all we can do is learn the lessons and move on.
After 15 months of abismal service, it's time to give up.</p>
<p>That's what I posted to Monkey830.co.uk forums yesterday. My parents are out now collecting the Citroën.<br>

All I can say to anyone who's considering buying a Saab is this: DON'T. Especially if you're in the UK. Their cars DO have faults, despite their claims to the contrary. The difference is that they will not admit when they have a fault, and refuse point blank to do anything about it. Their service is abismal and the only thing they are interested in is cash. If you buy a Saab, you may be lucky and become a happy Saab owner, but you would not want to waste £12,000 on a crap car. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but that's the way I feel.</p>
<p>The bottom line:
DON'T BUY SAAB</p>
