Default Re: Greetings, SRT6 Owners... I'm intrigued with your cars.

I too own a SRT and Saab. I have to say no one makes a more comfortable seat than Saab - at least in my price range. SRT for long daily commutes might get old.

Saab is also a car that you can get a lot of car for the money especially as the 2nd owner after the new car depriciation. A Saab 9-3 off lease with 30 K miles is a great value in my view.

The Saab is my wife's car and is a 2008 limited addition Turbo X SportCombi (Wagon) - only 600 for US market. Like the Viggen it's a special addition - bigger engine 285 HP, brakes, suspension, ect. In short an SRT-like treatment. The Saab X-Wheel drive is the differentiator from the pack with ability to transfer power front to back wheels and also back wheels left to right. It's a four wheel drive for performance and not just snow. You can take corners as fast as you desire (that I desire anyway).


I prefer driving the SRT but I have to say I love driving the Turbo X. And as wagon it's a sleeper - no one know it's a performance car including my wife. It's not the fastest on the road but all the fun you need.


If you really like your Saab and need better MPG for computing I'd look for a used Turbo X. Or even a 9-3 Aero.

At a later date the Viggen could be replaced by an SRT.
