Of the later ones, the 95 (like mine) is great but the slightly smaller (more sensible sized to be fair) 93 isn't particularly pleasant to drive (test drove a brand new one as potential company car and some years later a secondhand convertable). The earlier 900 turbo convertible was a very nice car indeed.

I had a Volvo in my 30s - it was a great car.
The only Saab I’ve driven was a late 9-3 2.8 V6 Turbo (estate). It was awful to drive. It’s like the turbo and engine were disconnected, and the gearbox ratios were completely wrong.
It was a nice place to sit but I quickly discounted it from my shortlist (ended up with a BMW 130i, which was fantastic).

I bet you had a tape measure in there to measure things to make sure you could get them in 🤣

I have calibration marks tattooed on my love lolly for the purpose. Provided Carol Vorderman doesn't stroll past its surprisingly accurate.

I loved my 9-5 Aero. The most comfortable speed machine I've ever driven.

Nice P6 the other evening. Looked like a nicely maintained everyday use car. One of the later style with the 2.2 twin carb engine. I'd quite fancy a P6

I had one of those 20 years ago!
Crazy it's almost 50 yrs old!
Mashed mine up on a greesy slip road in Southampton and fibreglass and cardboard back together!
That and the Volvo 940 were two brilliant cars I had down south!

That's a rare sight. Facelift model perhaps ?, a former colleague had a souped up T reg (iirc) and it looked slightly different.
I can't remember the last time I saw a 900.
