9-3, common fault !

In fact 9-3's tend to unwind over time, the head bolts undid themselves as well as the subframe bolts, however the car has cost me next to nothing apart from consumables in 2 years and 20 k. Plus its quick for what it is.

 

I like the Saab turbo motors, torquey and understated but you still make good progress

 

110bhp would be 121.429ps

The magic number is 1.1039,

so 110x1.1039 is 121.429

 

1.0139: so its actually 111.529PS

MoT

 

Yep, still impressed with mine, my dad drove it the other day and couldnt understand why for a 150 bhp car it felt a lot quicker than his MG ZT 190.

Has to be the engine with the best power delivery I have driven, my Fiat Coupe Turbo and T5 were faster but the power delivery was more abrupt and a lot laggier, especially the Fiat.

 

I had a Volvo V40 2.0T that was similar, very linear delivery with just a little step up at 3.5K, most comfortable seats ever too.

 

i was out tonight and for quick denzels you should definitely consider a fabia RS. Guy put his foot down and it flew off into the distance - he also left a complimentary smoke net on the road......
