turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 55680 mi C $300 |
Both rear window regulators were faulty. Both replaced. But if I had checked them at first, I could have put back the wire onto the regulator wheel at nos cost. But since I had the parts in hand (bought 276$) I decided to replace them. |
| 7000 mi | Drivers side seat retaining clips. |
| 101000 mi US $120 |
Passenger side view mirror glass FELL off. Replaced side view mirror glass with 3rd party item. |

| 98000 mi US $400 |
Wiper transmission failed on one side, had to be replaced. |
| 21300 mi | During test drive, I noticed the driver's window made a horrible screeching sound when going up. The dealer lubricated the regulator prior to the sale. The car also pulled heavily to the right during braking; brakes were repaired for free later. |
| 39000 mi | The windshield wiper nozzles began leaking fluid. Replaced under warranty. |
| 59000 mi US $14 |
A windshield fluid nozzle broke apart. This was the second time a nozzle failed. Part replaced, an easy but annoying thing to fix. |
| 79000 mi US $8 |
The windshield fluid nozzles break every 18 months on this car. I replaced one myself (part, $8). I bought a Chinese aftermarket one, which hopefully lasts longer than the SAAB OEM nozzles that keep failing. |
| 9000 mi | Had difficulties with the ignition key sticking. They replaced the ignition sensor and re-calibrated the key so that it would work. |
| 101000 mi US $300 |
Windshield washer arm would not move. |
