It's an Elite on an '07 plate, so I get leather throughout, colour satnav, bluetooth, climate control, heated seats, 17's etc. etc.
Ok, for the same money I know I could have got e.g. a 4 year old 530d auto with 'only' 74k on the clock or something, but that's not what I want for the family car.
Not for long: things fall off.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Yeah, this is my second family car now lol. But I've decided I need a toy. I'm thinking of either getting something cheap and RWD like a Sierra Sapphire, putting it on coilovers and having a trackday car. Or building an F2 stock car. Dunno if I've got the time for either at the moment though...
Would hope so

Saab owners report it's a cracking engine - when it works.
