      Actually it's fine Saab died. It was GM that couldn't handle the Swedish. I'm a big Saab guy only drives Saab. Because they are amazing. But the newer Saab models 9-3 is not much Saab. IST 50/50 Opel and Saab. Ist still better than most cars. But not great. And if GM would down the cost more as they wanted. The Saab are just turning into a Opel. And then it will just be rubbish.
      I'm fine for the rest of my life there are so many great old saab's out there for the rest of my life. So no worries here. And old Volvo is also alright.

    Bought a second one off another friend for scrap money as a spares car. Ended up tarting it up, put a MOT on it and sold it to a third mate! Bought it back off him 18 months later (again as a spares car) then sold it to the first mate as a spares car 🤣

      @alfisti93 2 года назад +4

      The funny thing is, the platform of the 159 was actually engineered with a possible RWD layout in mind, with longitudinal engines up to V8s. (Besides the common FWD/AWD setup with tranverse engines). Examples of this plan being the 2002 Brera concept or the Insignia concept from 2003...
      But GM cheaped out and didn't want to use this rather expensive platform from FIAT for their bigger Cadillac/Opel/Vauxhall/Saab models as it was inteded.
      So only the FWD version made it to production and all these shenanigans just ended up making the 159, Brera and Spider unncessarily heavy with rather tight interiors - for their class.
      Despite these shortcomings the 159 still remains an absolute timeless piece of automotive design. Back in the day I ended up buying a YS3F, because the Alfa had no properly nice petrol engines - when the SAAB had an all new turbo petrol.

    Full restore for sure.
    Considering Alex and Ethan got rid of their cars from that challenge within 3 months, and Jack has kept this for 2 years, I think its worthy of it. He keeps saying how much he enjoys it and it'd be a waste to bin it for laughs. Make it a series with Sam in on it, like Adam from Volkstechniks with the 3 Series Compact.
    Then a road trip to Sweden for a Saab/Scania meet. Would love to see your take on their back catalogue, cars and trucks, and some conversations with passionate owners...especially regarding some of the vehicles' oddball features.
    I've loved seeing glimpses of this Saab in the background of shots during the last 2 years, its been one of my fave cars you guys have had on the channel and just knowing it was still soldiering on in faithful service is one of those little things that added to your videos Enjoy it so much so, when I needed to buy my first car, I went looking for one (they're spenny out here, $25k for one with over 200,000km on the clock).

    Damn. I've always always loved Saabs. For £4,830 + £500 for the car itself, it is very very tempting to get one...

    can confirm saabs are a fire hazard, had an electrical fire in my saab 9-3, part of the interior is black from the smoke, but it seemed like nothing was damaged at all except the panel under which the wires were located

    i love my 9-5 aero. got it 5 years ago for 1,200 bucks. probably put way more then i'd like to admit in it but she never let me stranded, sounds great, and makes all the cool turbo noises (can't forget the manual)

    Get it repaired, I used to see these on the road all the time and they really stood out to me and I think this car deserves to have a longer life, I’d even consider it is your GTI replacement.

  • @michakwiecien1133

    I truly believe Jack should be lead presenter now. Back in the day he was one of the quietest but remained the funniest with his one liners like "toffee toffee" etc. Wish Alex all the best and definitely watch his new channel but make Jack the lead presenter please! P.S also he is deffo overdue a decent loaner

    The smartest thing that should be on everyone's mind right now should be to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC ETH...).

    as someone who was a Saab specialist tech, i grew to like the petrol Saabs, but the 1.9 Diesels always gave more grief. Swirl flap issues, EGR issues, DPF regen failures etc.
    But they were still nice to work on.

    • @oscarmathia6112
      @oscarmathia6112 2 года назад +3

      I love my 8v, even if you cant tune it as high as the 16v. But no swirl flap and dpf, and i have blocked the egr. 200.000 miles going strong :)

      @rotary_turbo99 2 года назад +2

      @@oscarmathia6112 yeah those are getting a bit rarer, I only ever saw a couple when I was a saab specialist a couple years back.
      and as you said, swirl flap delete, egr delete and dpf delete and remap will actually be cheaper than replacing the intake manifold and swirl flap assembly.
