Greetings from Regina

Hey there! I've been a registered user for a while but finally decided to introduce myself. My daily driver is a '99 Saab 9-5 V6.




Cheers

It has been reliable lately... that's very concerning. I feel like it's secretly planning to explode or something. ::)

I seem to recall these models had issues with the automatic transmissions. Am I remembering correctly? How has yours been?

Haha. They're probably further to the right than the east coast Conservative parties.

Of course. But it's just too much fun thinking about Saskatchewan mocking Alberta for being too far left.

Maybe the new NDP government should provide provincial conservatives with free one-way bus tickets to Saskatchewan.  :rofl2:

AFAIK no issues with transmissions, but electrical and especially HVAC are a mess.

Saab, Land Rover and Jaguar are the automotive equivalent of S&M.
