2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4

Never needed to do anything but normal maintainence. Starts every day and hums along without protest. Paint sucks though and my Saab decal on the front has lost its color. full 2005 Saab 9-2X review

I had a old 1988 3 door Subaru standard, got 300k+ punishing miles out of it before a head gasket blew. replaced the gasket and it kept right on. This new Saabaru has 61k miles and nothing has broken yet. full 2005 Saab 9-2X review
