Saab = EXPENSIVE to repair.
They can be. But look at it this way. It's cheaper to fix a Saab and drive it for another 100,000 miles than it is to buy a new car. Heck, a repair on it is less than a couple of car payments on a new vehicle. (in any case it's always better to buy used wheels, unless you just like throwing money away on depreciating assets.)
They're fun little cars. But they're designed for tiny people with people with tiny feet. The bulkhead above the clutch pedal is always catching the top of my shoe.
