I am still driving a Saab. 2004 9-5 Arc 2.2 Tid. Just keeps on a rolling.......... These guys need to try a 9-5 Aero with a manual gearbox, amazing performance, will take a huge mileage. A standard 260bhp one would of successfully completed that 150mph challenge that they recently had.
I paid £100 for a saloon the same age last year. Was destined for the scrappy and I was going to use it for spares. Decided to try for a MOT. Some new tyres and a new front spring saw a clean ticket and I sold it on to a mate to be his daily car. Rust isn't usually what kills them off

This wasnt even a competetion Saab just was all around best car :D
Good luck fixing it when it breaks 😂
@@kyriakostsaknakis7741 Its GM, Its cheap as hell to fix.
@@themightydash1714 well its some sort of closed type engine. So if you have a major fault on the engine you might as well say goodbye. Because it's not a Japanese car that can last a long time with just basic maintenance.
I know for a fact that it's a really beautiful car and fast and comfy
But since my family has owned one can't really say it was much of a joy being quite often in a garage after 100k miles
Not so reliable as a Honda which we own for 15, has gone for 350k miles and still nothing is broken
I think ethans car had the best launch 😬🤔(or am i slowy becoming a retired carguy?)
Lets just ignore the dog slow performance...it was VERY nearly beaten by a broken diesel Multipla! lol
“that is what it has in spades” this actually killed me😂😂😂 4:28
I'm so proud proud of Ethan, he's coming along so well :)
I know. They grow up so fast.
The old top gear format, love it.

“Wait Your not my dad!”
“I AM TODAY!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Ethan: thats quite a lot of rust
Me: **laughs in Canadian**
Showroom worth in Ontario.
We’d call that “mint condition.”
@@benjaminschmied7998 They ship em from the factory like that in Quebec.
I could see the bloody road from the inside of my Ford WIndstar when I lived in Quebec. Canadian car rusts in 5 years like UK one rusts in 20 years
Laughs in illinois.
I actually really like that Saab, the other two cars are hideous
You are smoking crack
@@elnyoutube123 you got heroine up your arse
@Anon73618 You really think the Puma looks generic compared to a Miata? Really? What else on the road looks anything like a Puma?
@Anon73618 I have to disagree with you on that. The Puma looks like a Puma from a mile away. A Miata just looks like a generic blob designed by slaves.
I like the Saab too. Estates are cool. Saab’s are cool. The alloys are mean. Love the roof rack and all that space. Cruise control. Lovely interior. That’s actually a bloody nice motor
12:49 "oh there is no jesus handles" 🤣🤣🤣
The Saab is so good no one is even talking about the multipla's interior!
My SAAB interior, what a place to be !.

@@maxgt3441 Hi. No its a 6D Gloss film wrap, took me 2 days to do on my own. Did it in the summer which really helped to wrap the film. All detailed in my cars build thread.

I am still driving a Saab. 2004 9-5 Arc 2.2 Tid. Just keeps on a rolling..........
These guys need to try a 9-5 Aero with a manual gearbox, amazing performance, will take a huge mileage. A standard 260bhp one would of successfully completed that 150mph challenge that they recently had.
@@antonyevans120 I know. I told them to get a 9000 2.3T. I would have applied a 300bhp map for them and it would go to 160 no problem.
I’ve never seen such enthusiasm from Ethan. I’m genuinely so proud of him, it’s literally making me emotional how much of a car guy he is becoming.
So happy to finally se a Saab on the channel. I've owned 2 Saabs and they have never let me down, great cars.
I really hope SAAB continues their car production some day
That Saab just looks too good to be £500
i was surprised when i heard it is for that price
Just imagine how bad the rust problem is to drive the price that low
Unfortunately the rust is included, so maybe it's a fair price...
I paid £100 for a saloon the same age last year. Was destined for the scrappy and I was going to use it for spares. Decided to try for a MOT. Some new tyres and a new front spring saw a clean ticket and I sold it on to a mate to be his daily car.
Rust isn't usually what kills them off
Waxed, too
That Puma reminds me of a young Tiff Needell teaching us how to "drift" a FWD car.
Young??? Hes was about 50 when he made that vid...
@@christianbuczko1481 he’s always been 50 that man hasn’t changed ever
Racing drivers don't age. Has got to do with their exercise, diet and some of those G Forces.
He is permanently young..!
This is literally the reason why I used to watch Top Gear
saab was easily the best car lets face it.
It’s literally impossible to argue with that
Easily the best looking going sideways. 😂
Well, it's the only car here.
Night mode
I've owned a dozen Saabs and that 9-3 isn't a Saab. The engine is the same Fiat diesel fitted in the Multipla.
As my late Grandad used to say, "SAABs are an aeroplane car". The SAAB ones were flying machines for sure.
The had aircraft inspired interiors too
This is a very special for Ethan. Hey Ethan, remember everything The Stig thought you, do those tricks in that Multipla for The Stig to be proud.
it grinds my gears to see you throwing the christmas tree in the car the wrong way smh
Stopped the video for exact same reason. Why are they struggling to get the 🌲 the wrong way round?
I was thinking the exact same thing, other way would be so much easier 👍
@@Mark... Yes, but then harder when you have to take it out.
@@DashCamSerbia haha that’s true I never thought of that 😁
I just love how the Multipla has gras under the front lip right from the beginning. Look 0:40 and 0:51 just looks like a cow chewing on its gras
Alex: This is the car equivalent of me. Good looking, nimble. Jack: And a piece of shit.
Dead
I’ll give the credit to the camera guys, that slo mo at the end was epic. I loved Ethan’s rear tire on his last attempt.
"Wait you're not my dad!".... "I am today"
Legendary
26:16 "it's extra medium" 🤣🤣
Remember this is their first time doing these top gear type challenges. The videos will get even more better as time goes
I was thoroughly entertained for all 27 minutes, and for me that's a LOT if time to watch the same program. Can't wait for more!
@@jessethouin imagine if they do an episode where they're in a different country like the top gear specials. That would be amazing.
them speaking about the saab like that makes me so sad
Okay, but the Saab 😍 I miss them soo much..
Jack, I'll give you all the cash in my wallet for that Saab
I’d say the same but i’ve only got £49
