Default 1999 Saab Viggen... how does it compare to an B5 A4?

Anyone ever own one of these before? Came across one, and it looked kinda cool. I don't know sh*t about Saab's. I'm guessing it's a bit quicker than an B5 A4? What i'm hearing from people is that Saab's have historically had reliability issues... but yet again people tell me the same thing about VW's, Audi's and Land Rovers too. haha

Here's one on Cardomain:

Default Well, it is ghey.

And it has to be in reverse in order to take out the keys if it is a 5-spd.

I dont know crap about it other than that, but it is faster than a stock B5 A4 without a doubt. Still ghey though.

Default 2nd

you will only get a biased opinion on this forum. Exactly the reason I won't ask if I should buy a 330ci or an A4 ultrasport.

Default Yeah, I figured it was biased...

but I figured someone here probably has/had one, or knew someone with one who could tell me if it's crap or not... =o)

Nearly bought one before the tt - great looking, too much torque steer, terrible resale, but fun

Default Like an Audi has good resale?

I've had more depreciation in the last 6 months on the S6 than I had in 3 years on my Porsche. Not that I want the Porsche back.

Default I guess its all relative.... but yah worse...

My brother works at a car dealer and they regularly buy sabs for 2 - 4 k under blue book so they can finance people who are severly upside down
