ONE DRIVE: Saab 900 Turbo SPG 

Back in the 90's, I owned a used 900 and then had a 9000 used. Till this day, no other cars or trucks have made me more happy to have.

saab 900 is a great example of a car that doesn't seem special on paper but once you own and drive it it is definitely special. I don't own one but I've heard from various number of owners. I hope to own one some day. For now, my 9-5 is a joy to drive! Great review, looking forward to the updates! Subbed :)

I owned a 80 900 turbo It was a nightmare being young only 19 but I loved that car. Through it all motor swap to a 78 non turbo thanks to Dennis Sweeney Saab cars and parts in Ligonier Pa eventually drunk driving in my twenties rolled it over and that car saved me and my friends life. Truly built with safety in mind im telling you all that car saves lives

Hello, I just bought a 1986 900spg on bring a trailer on Dec. 26, 2023 For $1001. It is a project car, but it was cheap. I got it for a palindrome, and the seller was really cool.

SAAB, safe as a Volvo, built like a Mercedes and drives like a BMW! Saab 900 ❤

I own a 97 9000 CSE. It is a dream to drive! 225 hp turbo 4 cyl. 200k + miles! In that time it has had a head gaskit repair and 4 sets of breaks a new Radiator and routine maintenance the interior Has a single crack in driver's seat cover and the best five speed in history bar none. I am going to drive this car in to Bankruptcy!! great heated seats too!

I. owned a '87 9kT and loved it!! When it needed service, the SAAB garage (not a dealer) I went to, had 900's for loaners. They had at least 200,000 miles. They were stick but the linkage was so worn, you had to "use The Force, Luke" to find the gears. They were incredibly stable in side winds! If you drive a 900 over a long bridge with lots of wind from the side, you'd NEVER know it. It went dead straight. The center console ignition was fun. It's been over 20 years since I owned my 9kT and I'd love to have any SAAB again.

Just got a 86 SPG last week and I've already modded it with all sorts of universal parts. It's definitely night and day difference with the APC stage 4 unit.

Dude! That Saab.....love, love, love it! What am I doing. Why don't I have one of these? I've been waiting since 1987 in high school! very nice...congrats!

Growing up in Sweden my father had three Saab 900 OG and one 900 NG, the last of the OG's was a red Turbo. A few years ago, my Nissan 200sx S13 was stolen and I borrowed an OG 900 Turbo 8-valve from a family friend. It was somewhat beaten up but drove great having gone 140k miles. I returned it after buying an OG 9-3 2.0T. Didn't really think about the T8 until I heard it was sold for 3 000 SEK ($300). I realised I missed out on owning my dream car, as a child I actually had a poster of a 900 Aero on my wall. Great video, there's simply something about the Saabs, this makes me miss them even more...

No-one ever bought a saab because they wanted to impress someone. It was always because they wanted one for themself. It's nice when someone takes an interest but it's icing on the cake . Steve Lewis SAAB

beautiful car! still don't know how you don't have more exposure/views there is so much passion coming from these videos, good job

Nice vid! Love Saabs!

Had an 89 SPG with Swedish Dynamic tune. Crazy fast, well beyond what is safe, and left me grinning every time boost kicked in and tried to kill me. No other car like it. Been through 8 or so Saabs since, settling on a Viggen, it's much more civilized but still ridiculously powerful genuinesaab-outfitted St3 grandson. Saab is AWESOME.

loved the shots watching a 900 fly through the snowy plains of Utah. I have an '88 turbo 5-speed in Malachite Green, absolutely love it. I think '85 / '86 - '89 are the sweet spot years for 900's. '89 did have a bad ECU reputation, but that's an easy swap if you have a spare.

Thanks for the awesome video, great summary! Have had my 900 turbo Aero for about a year now, and absolutely love the car. It looks fantastic, feels great to drive and is super practical. Smiles per miles guaranteed.

I have owned 7 Saabs/ 4 900’s. My fav was my 900 turbo with some mods. Yes they work in the real world .

One of my Total dream cars the 900s Turbo SPG!!!!! I hope you're loving it! We had tons of SAABs over the years. One of our favs was our 4 door hatchback 1979 SAAB 99 TURBO with sunroof and the Aztech rims!! Tons of Turbo lag - hahahaha- and sooooo much fun. Greetings from Boston

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm on my 7th Saab. My first Saab that I fell in love with was a 1998, 900 5 speed turbo, 2 door hard top. I sold it due to rust issues. I've owned NG's, a 1999 Viggen, 9-3's and 1967 96 V4. But I always wanted to get back to that classic 900, so I just picked up 1991 900 5 speed 2 door hard top. I fell in love all over again.

What a great video! What a beautiful 900! Im never getting rid of my saab wouldnt want to drive anything else.

Wish Saab was still around! I have a 02 9-5 wagon I’m modifying and it’s great! Even compared to my Subaru STI the Saab has something special.

Fantastic sound quality and a stunning 900! You should keep the name "One Drive",the name fits perfectly

That Saab is pretty cool, hopefully you do an update when it hits 400k

Love the details but you had me at SAAB!

your 900 is a brilliant example

Sweet saab dude! Working on my 86 Turbo head gasket right now and cant wait to get it out. P.S. The 900 should be around 2900lbs!

Oh wait...I remember this guy!! I was wondering what happened to the saab! WELCOME BACK MAN!!😅 I had remembered i mentioned. I had watched your original video about this car like 10 times!

I put 478,000 miles on a SAAB. They're a special automobile...

Nice vid. I never drive mine in the snow tho (‘92 vert), but neither are you in reality . And I certainly wouldn’t if I was back in the Midwest. I’d love an SPG too, but no where to keep one safe at the moment. And anyone who knows how to drive really doesn’t need ABS. That’s skill. Keep these beauts alive!

What a great explanation of what makes a real Saab a Saab. One, question: what happened to the steering wheel that was installed in the original photos?

Hey love your video and your car ! What's the name of the part on the back window, the blind / awning (that looks like the one on a Lotus esprit S1). Thx !!

pretty sure the og900 spgs were around 2900lbs, so pretty light, similar to a modern gr86 or s2k. Even the NG900s and OG9-3s were around 3100-3200lbs. The OG9-5 aeros (sedan) were almost exactly 3400lbs with a full 18.5 gallon tank of fuel though

Knew someone who had 4 of them.

You should check wheel bearings and stuff. My 1991 900 spg gets 35mpg even when i drive lead-footed.

is this saab guy the one that did an intro to his saab 900 many years ago?? somekidwith was his youtube channel??

I live right near Syracuse Utah. I have a 2019 Golf R and a 2005 9-5 Aero. Would love to check out each others vehicles, if you are local?
