Seen a cheap 59 plate petrol 1.8t, 25,000 miles 1 owner, leather, top spec. Anyone driven one or got one?

Driven a v6 Turbo. A nice car but small boot (estate) and not up to the Octavia's chassis in my opinion.

I'm a long time Saab fan (9000 Aero, 900 T16s), but modern Saab's don't do it for me, too much like a variation on a Vauxhall.

Amazing MPG though - you'll sdee 65mpg al day long if it's anything like a friends.

Worked for saab for 7 years and the 1.8t is youre most reliable engine and does not suffer from many issues. Only thing later in life the balance shaft chain and guides die and make them sound like a tractor but regular servicing is the key. Any help needed just ask as i know them pretty well as of all the years!

If you fancy a beast try turbo x or ttid's are great and very powerful :-)

Sorry, just realised you mentioned petrol - delete the 65mpg bit!
