Thoughts?

Going to look at a metallic grey 05 reg tomorrow...

I like them.

They are a lot of car for the money and I have took a shine to them over the weekend.

The Aero's are the lookers in the range. The interior dash is a bit busy..but I like the leather seats etc...

About a million too many buttons on the inside making them look naff.

Hardtop is alright looking on the outside but convertible looks pretty rank tbh.

horrendous issues with reliability. Central locking, roof problems, engine problems. My ex boss had one and within one year it had been back with so many faults they gave them a new one. New one developed the same problems. Could have been bad luck, but given the hell they went through, id never own one.

That's funny as his experience is contrary to everything I am reading on the web. Saabs have great reliability if looked after.

they use the exact same UEC REC DDM PDM SCM modules as vectra c's. the instrument panels look different, but whip backs off and the pcb boards are identical.

the can bus wiring harnesses, are absolutely identical, same idents, the plugs that arent used are simply taped up.

engines-the 1.9 diesels are the same, the 2.ot are the same net block, may be diff auxiliarys though.
