I have, after a long selection process, orderd a new Saab 1.9 TiD Vector sport. I was loaned one for a day from the local dealer so took the opportunity to see how well it performed.

Using a freinds performance meter (measures with accelorometers i think) we did some 0-60 sprints in the Saab, which has only 430 miles on the clock.

We managed a best time of 9 secs which is what I expected.

We did the same in my Octy and got a best time of 6.8 secs which, although expecting it, was chuffed with

The octys brakes were significantly better and the Saab's handing was not as sharp. As you would expect the Saab interior is better quality (and so it should be @ 23k), and beleive it or not the Octy ice is better than the standard 7 speaker Saab setup :eek:

Still, i wanted to move to a diesel car for tax and economy reasons and the Saab was my favorite (would of had a Fabia vRS if space wasnt an issue) so i orderd one with a sport chassis upgrade and the 13 speaker 300 watt setup.

I am now seeking a good price from the lease company to buy the octy for a toy. Its so bloody good i cant bear to see it go

I have had 2 Saab's in the past and liked them both , and wouldn't hesitate to have another
