The second-generation Saab 900, known as the NG900, arrived for the 1994 model year and marked the brand's first new car under GM ownership. Built on the GM2900 platform shared with the Opel Vectra, it retained classic Saab styling cues like the clamshell hood, wraparound windshield, and center-console ignition. It was offered as a 3-door coupe, 5-door hatchback, and 2-door convertible, with power coming from naturally aspirated 4-cylinders, a GM-sourced 2.5L V6, or Saab's own iconic 2.0L turbocharged four.
Collectors are drawn to the NG900 as a bridge between classic Saab heritage and modern usability. The Turbo models, particularly the desirable 'Viggen' predecessor coupes and convertibles, offer strong performance and a quintessential Saab experience. The availability of GM-sourced parts makes some maintenance easier than on older models, providing an accessible entry point to the brand for new enthusiasts. The convertible remains a stylish and affordable drop-top.
Buying Tips
- Check the Saab Information Display (SID) in the center dash for missing or dead pixels, a very common and annoying fault.
- On convertibles, operate the power top multiple times. The hydraulic system can be prone to leaks and expensive pump or cylinder failures. Check the trunk for signs of hydraulic fluid.
- The 2.0L turbo engine is the enthusiast's choice and is known to be durable. The GM V6 requires a timing belt change every 60,000 miles, which is a costly service.
- Test all electronics. Failed window regulators, faulty central locking, and buggy climate controls are common complaints.
- Look for rust in the wheel arches, along the rocker panels, and at the bottom of the doors. While better than older Saabs, they can still have corrosion issues.
