Bangernomics car of the week/day part III

Petrol 9-3s are excellent value now, diesels will soon drop too I reckon.

Again, slammed on AMG's galore today.

What are so many TIDs advertised as TDIs?

And not forgetting the merc center caps that no boy racer could be ar$ed to change nobody seems to change

To attract skangers.

As the saying goes "nothing flies like a TDI"

/\ i'd rather walk, ughhh, but each to their own.

and in the event of a smash, you'll not walk out of it....

Of course, not everyone likes certain cars. I myself, would have one over a similarly priced Micra, unless it was a K10 of course.

Meh, its got a 2 star NCAP rating just like the K11 Micra. Safety is a 90s car isn't a huge concern for me, I was hit by a Toyota Avensis taxi and sent into a tree in a K10 Micra two years ago, went out and bought a Vauxhall Nova afterwards.

But of course, if you want something safe, a Micra looks safer than a Seicento.

Just don't crash. Pretty simple solution :pac:

I'd probably drive that Saab as it is to be honest, I like it.

you know its the one with the 2.2 engine that like to sh!t themselves, the 1.9 is the only choice, if you'd have to have one of these.

I know nothing about Saabs, I'd only bother with an Aero though.

Mr.Fred

I had an aero saab ss and to be honest the build quality is ****e.

Sure there's a fair bit of poke in them but I nearly replaced everything from the ground up before selling it on to a garage for buttons.

They look good from a distance that's about it. I like the look of the 95 but couldn't bring myself to owning another saab.

Moneymaker

I don't get the love for them either tbh. I'd rather a Volvo, same kind of price range for used ones and much better build quality imo.

I like the looks of them for the age. And they are different and don't have a very bad reliability reputation.

But have nvr sat in one.

...yeah, there's better yokes to buy alright.......anyways, I'm off out for a pint x 25 .

Happy new year to all bangernomophiles!

JohnBoy26

I don't get the hype about them myself, well the newer gm based models that is. They are only average in every department imo. Saab really overdone it with the aircraft heritage thing IMO.

The only thing that gm Saab's have in common with aircraft is that they are both expensive to run :pac:

For Forks Sake

Not to everyones tastes, but taxed until the end of Jan and NCT to Oct14 for 1800 quid.

Decent car for the money, always fancied one.

If you really want an MX5, an automatic is just wrong.
Sure I bought my manual Roadster for €900.
