      Nissan Sentra III, in Mexico it was made until 2017 under the name of Tsuru. Easy fix, lots of cheap spare parts and if the engine fails you can get a new one in box for 750 US. Maybe 75% of Mexico's taxi cabs are Tsurus.

    You have to take the whole thing apart to fix anything.
    Went to my friend's to help put in a new clutch on his Audi ... I get there and he removed the seats and was taking out the headliner. "What are you doing??" I say when I arrive. He seriously looks at me and says, "to get to the transmission we have to remove all this and the dashboard too." Long pause... he busts out laughing and tells me he bought a new headliner and says, "but don't be surprised how much of this car we're going to have to take apart to access the transmission."

      @rick deegan because they need to output hundreds of kilowatts of power, which would require insanly high current (and thus insanely thick wiring... probably motor windings too) if the voltage is low.
      you shouldn't worry about high voltage in cars; they're plenty safe... when the system is off the high voltage supply is disconnected right at the battery so the rest of the system is harmless. and most if not all hybrid/ev batteries have a service plug that will break the series chain somewhere around the middle, so the voltages inside the battery aren't deadly.

    Actually Saab stopped "putting their engines in backwards" in the 1980's with the 900 series. From the 1990's on Saab automatics were made by Aisin, the bulletproof Toyota owned company and pretty much the same as in a Toyota (that Scotty sings the praises of all the time)! I've had no problems getting parts for my 9-5 and they're no more expensive than any other car I owned.

      It’s a combination of the 2 that becomes deadly. 12vDC is safe even though that battery can deliver 600+ amps. 600A is about 40 times the actual current you’ve ever been zapped with if you got a taste of US “house” current at 15A on AC; the difference (other than being AC not DC) is the 10x higher voltage on the house circuit (110V). Not that house current will kill you but it sure does get your attention 😂😂😂

    The saab has many more fasteners and the fasteners are much stronger than in the Toyota, which does make working on the saab a bit more time consuming, but as far as placement and access for parts goes, they seem to be about the same as each other.

    The old Saab 900s are exactly as you said - extremely hard to fix certain common things. For the record, the European-built 9-5s are the opposite in many ways (easier than others to repair) - as an example, you can change the clutch without removing either the engine or transmission (just open up the front subframe, split the engine and transmission, change the clutch and reverse the process). Also, the Direct Ignition is remarkably simple, works really well and is easy to replace. The major flub is the comfort system - this works incredibly well, but if it fails, it has to be changed out in its entirety, which involves removing the dash, front seats, etc.. Agreed that a) expertise/special tools are required in all cases, and b) some parts are hard to come by these days - no wonder mechanics hate them. I'm driving my second 9-5 Aero (4 cylinder w/manual transmission) now (runs perfectly at 225k miles), and I sold my last one at 280k miles on the original clutch (and is still running for the 2nd owner), and neither car burns oil (both run Mobil-1 High Mileage full synthetic). Most people that have had bad experiences with 9-5s probably had the wrong people working on their cars (I have a Saab Master Mechanic with a GM Tech-2 computer, who really knows how to use it), or bought one that was badly maintained. Obviously, Saab expertise and parts will become harder to find over time... Truth in advertising - I worked at a Saab dealer which was #1 in the US for customer satisfaction (multiple master mechanics, all specialty tools present..), after I started driving Saabs. The biggest issues we saw were with a) V-6 models (shoehorned into the 9-3, belt drive OHCs with sludge problems in the 9-5), and b) 9-3 sport sedans (electronic body controls and AWD systems were problematic). Thank you for great RUclips videos.
