GM‘s Macpherson strut suspenâ€" sion up front does a nice job offâ€"setâ€" ting any torque steer and I would judge the overall ride quality to be about average for this class of car. The steering response is just quick enough to make it feel sporty but I‘ll tell you that the Saab 900 is not prone to being thrown around on a curvy road. Gains in body stiffness (50 per cent) are quite noticeable BLACK PANEL can darken all other controls except the speedometer to help the driver‘s on the floor anymore but is posiâ€" tioned between the two front seats on the console which also houses the power window switches. For those of you not familiar with Saabs the manual transmission has something called a reverse lockout ring.

The controls are large and right at hand and for a change are easy to understand.

More than ever, the Saab 900 delivers the goods with standard sudtnniny mmake mubnct mt i eruise control, lamp wipers, power windows mirâ€" rors and locks, and heated front seats and exterior mirrors. The SE model also includes power front seats with driver memory, leather upholstery, alloy wheels, an onâ€" board computer which indicates fuel economy, range and outside temperature and a sixâ€"speaker audio system with a CDâ€"changer.

It‘s even more reasonable ing a European yuppieâ€"mobile is eminently practical, classy and uniquely stylish. I love it, and best of all, GM has left well enough alone and let Saab be Saab.
