The first one: the workhorse
This one is the daily and the first one I bought. It’s been to the moon and then some. While it might be a 5-footer, it’s been loved and well-maintained (my maintenance log registers 370 items).
A 3rd place category finish at the 2024 Saabs at Carlisle show is proof that with love, a high-mileage, daily-driven Saab can still look and drive half (or less?) its mileage.
