@@AutoAutopsy A favourite secret feature on my very first SAAB 99 were the generous smuggling compartments under the rear seat. I believe this was in my 5 door 900 turbo, but for some random reason I found more use for it in my younger days. I’m not sure how many wine bottles could be safely transported under there. Of course nothing more interesting was ever stored there…👀

Some Mitsubishi and PSA (Peugeot/Citroën) cars had that telescoping lever as well.
The fold down seat is not only useful for camping but hauling appliances, too. In 1994, I was living in New Hampshire & got a job in Connecticut. I found out I needed a gas clothes dryer for my condo. I folded my seat in my 1991 900 Turbo, took a GE dryer out of the box, put it face down so the panel fit over the seatback and Viola! closed the hatch. Instant transport!
You brought back great memories with that front backup light. It was so useful in parking garages when backing up and turning at the same time. Those gatage cement pillars like to eat quarter panels. 😅 Way to showcase Saab engineering, safety details, and ingenuity, Jacob!! It IS why we love them so! ❤😊
Thank you! I am a new subscriber from Sweden. Interesting to see your front seatbelts with a fixed shoulder belt(?) and an inertia lap belt. It reminds me of the solution some American landyachts had in the early 1970s. The knee protection padding beneath the dashboard on your 900 looks like equipment exclusively for North American market cars, but I might be wrong.
1. Reverse light in front light had only US market Saab 900 2. That “handle” in front of the passenger is for moving forward the seat, you will grab and pull yourself 3. That lever on height is movable, you can pull and you have more leverage and its going easier to move the seat
Funnest and best car I ever owned....❤ I had an 8 valve 900 Turbo with the metric magnesium rims....and have owned several of the 16 valve models as well....that 8 valve Turbo engine 40 plus mpg and really sweet...the CSI injection I'm just partial to..
I'm going to suggest that the wine glass rests in the glove compartment lid are NOT intended to be utilized while driving, and this is precisely why they are only 5mm high - it's a safety feature. (Particularly since drinking wine while driving is, at the very least, frowned upon.) They're intended for use in an in-vehicle picnic while stopped to admire a view of, e.g., the Alps. (In a pinch, the clutch return spring can be repurposed as a corkscrew as well.) Saabs have always been gourmet-conscious. As I'm sure you know, the 9-3 model has an air conditioning vent in the glove box, which the owners' manual specifically states is to "allow the storage of chocolate during hot weather". And, also on the 9-3, you can easily boil an egg on the ECU, which is why it was thoughtfully placed on the intake manifold. (Many erroneously view this as a design flaw, but I guess they prefer their eggs cold.)
"the wine glass rests in the glove compartment lids are NOT intended to be utilized while driving" .. Exactly! That's what the wine skin is for that you sling around your neck. Stay European!
Those glass/cup holders can be found on many cars. I think I've heard the British call them tea cup holders? But yea, only meant to be used while parked.
That seat adjustment was already an upgraded version. Before there was a system with the handle up front that adjusted up either the front, back or both. If memory serves me well it had two positions, about 4 cm between high and low. Started in the 99 when the seats with integrated head rests were introduced. When I installed 99-Turbo seats in the 96 I had to saw off the height adjustment brackets that were positioned at the underside at the back.
Nice video as always :-) Raising the driver seat: you can pull out the "knob" - has a built in telescopic arm - raising the seat becomes more effortless. ( Atleast the 9000 had this... 😇) Greetings from Sweden!
@@AutoAutopsy In early days of motoring, pop out windows was a common thing on all/most cars since cars did not have air conditioning. Pop out windows started to disapere on cars in the70:s, and the feature was totally gone from the mid/late 70:s. Saab probably kept the pop out windows as a nostalgic thing since the predecessor to the 900, the 99 (witch the 900 was based on) was presented already in 1967 when pop out windows still was a common thing on cars.
🫡👍❤️🇸🇪 Great video, love those cars. One thing that 900 and 99 has is the kickerpanel is mounted on the Doors. Easy to get in and out. And one thing i noticed, the handle to higher up your seet, I think you can pull it out for moore power? I know in Swedish model you can.
I remember my dad’s 900 very well and noting seemed like a secret feature to me. Except that you can open bottles. But is that really meant for it? I also remember the smell of the leather seats especially when the car was new. It was a great vehicle that died in a car crash.
Volvo has the same feature to avoid locking your keys in the car. It has an "override feature" though. If you hold the handle in the opening position it is possible to push the lock down.
Funny side note. If you call the handles on the ceiling "holy shit handles" then the one on the dash is the "holy hell handle". Its all about how much leverage you need for that accident your friend is currently driving you into. It actually helps to yell holy shit or holy hell when you grab either one too. Let's you buddy know he needs to slow down while adding at least 5% more staying power in your seat. 😂😂
Do the cornering lights on the 900 also come on with the turn signals or is it just when in reverse? I know a bunch of Buicks, Cadillacs, and Oldsmobiles had those in the 80's, 90's, and the early 00's, but to my knowledge they only came on when the turn signals were activated on either side. I've noticed my MINI has this feature when put in reverse though and the headlights are on. It will also shine additional light on the side your turning when going around a corner, but I believe it only does that up to a certain speed. Your Audi may have that feature as well as I've noticed most of the modern euro cars seem to have it now. :) Great video too! The bottle opener is definitely a cool quirk/feature. 😎
nice! I don't believe they come on with the turn signal, but I'll need to double check! my Audi has fog lights that come on when you turn the wheel which is a cool little feature, so sort of similar!
@@AutoAutopsy Yeah and very nice!! That's cool! It's a cool feature to have as well as that extra light can make a huge difference when going around a corner. The adaptive lights are nice too though!
My 9 3 has the cornering/reverse light as well. The only way I knew about it was the car gets parked undeground where its rather dark and when I put it into reverse, the wall next to my car would glow! Great feature!
Saab was whit 99 at 1967 elksafe frontwindow roof to not get the elk inside ! also in 900 dustfilter for the coupé. side inpact protection inside the doors that all cars has today ! also safetybelt adjust up and down. heated front seat early 1970 headlight wiper etc
Hey brother, it's nice to see that you are doing well so l'm in a bit of a pickle right now and I need new CV axles for my Saab 95 2011 turbo4 l went to a mechanic and they're having a hard time finding the parts do you might know where I can find it
The bottle opener is your idea and the cup holder on the glovebox is to use for when the car is not driving, but I think you know that already even if you maybe joked about it as of being useless in the video. :D..... Have a good weekend!
Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but i rememer that at some models you could also pull the handle of the seat lifting thing forward a bit so you could have more leverage. Had some sort of telescopic mechanism on it so you wouldnt have to use as much force. Edit. yeah, it was mentioned. a few times. nevermind then =)
I'm torn between getting an OG 900, NG 900 or a later model 9-3. My concern is reliability and parts availability. Which do you think would be better in that department.
On the earlier models that had a distributor, the engine mount that was in the front of the vehicle would break. The engine would pop up and the distributor cap would contact the hood and it would shatter. This would cause the engine to stall. I made a lot of money repairing Saab's.
My 900 from 1990 has the oh shit handles ! Gotta fix my misfire issue that's why I'm lurking around here, your ignition rebuilt video should be pretty useful
I Didn't see the middle fresh air only vents being mentioned as a hidden feature. It is highly unusual and designed to keep the driver alert on long drives in winter. Of course in. Arizona, maybe not needed. Lol..
Weird that you don’t have the oh shit-handle for the front passenger. My 1984 900 has the handles for all the passengers and a place to mount one also for the driver should you want one.
My Dad put a full size fridge in the back of our Saab. You should have seen the look on the guys from Sears when pulled up..Where is your truck? Points to Saab , opens hatch..Just slide it in here. Closes hatch , warehouse guys standing in shock lol...
For Europeans and Asians, we didn't feel the need to have cup holders. We never had a drink on the go back then. Drive-In restaurants wasn't a thing. So the "cup holders" in the clove-box was meant to be used while standing still. Not while driving.
I've had 6 Saabs in 26 years. 3 900's (original), 9000T, couple 95T's (one Aero) and i liked them all. Now i drive a Tesla. I consider Tesla as a "new SAAB" as it has similar kind of "different thinking" behind it and it splits peoples opinions the same way. Sad, that Saab is gone and not many cars left anymore, at least on this side of the, cold and salty, pond. Driving, maybe owning, the last model of 95 with turbo V6 is still on my "bucket list".
Nice! I personally have to disagree given how mainstream Tesla has become. Saab was always a niche brand. I think Alfa is probably the closest we have to Saab today 👍🏼😁a NG 9-5 would be great car to have!
The glovebox “glass holders” aren’t so useless watching a meteor shower with a date having the seats reclined and the top down…. Just sayin’ And the oh-shirt handles for the back seats, not so much in a convertible either, though I don’t know how many times I’ve had friends duck to climb into the back seat (with the top down). And being Wisconsin raised, there are lots of car parts suitable for opening bottles. My Jeep’s hitch receiver is excellent!
the glass and cup holder were on most cars all through the 50s 60s and 70s, always fun when you were driving and someone opened it to set a drink and the contents of the glove box uncovered drinks ended in their laps you warned them in an auto e break what's that, ya my 82 Citation, take the rear cover put it behind the front seats fold down the rear a flat square rear space to put anything in dont think you could fit a person like Saab good on ya Saab
There were no secrets (for a Swede) 😉👍 1. Front cornering lights first appeared on the 1980 SAAB 99 Turbo with 5 gears. 2. That the hood can be locked in an upright position, so-called service mode, is available on allmost all SAAB models. 3. The ignition sequence (1342) on all straight 4-cylinder cars is often written on the cylinder head or valve cover 4. The cup holders are for the cups to remain on the glove compartment door, when you stop and want to have a coffee or other drink. It was not on the map that you should drink while you were driving at that time. Not nearly as useless as you say. Only the younger generation are now spoiled with cup holders everywhere in the car. 🤭 5. Regarding handles in the roof, it was not something that was thought of, as there were handles in the doors to hold on to. 6. SAAB already had raise and lower/angle front seats on the old SAAB 95/96, but did not have a lever. Here you had to use tools. Under the chair rails there are wedges that you can turn, if you are short, or remove completely, if you are tall. But like I said, a little more work. 7. Having to lock the car in reverse was safer than steering wheel locks, which are easier to force. 8. A bottle opener is everywhere there are sharp edges. That the bottle could be opened precisely in the trunk lock is just a coincidence that someone came up with completely randomly. After countless bottles were opened here, it soon became time for the tailgate lock to be adjusted a little due to poor fit. 9. Folding the rear seat is something you could do on all SAAB models and there were already bed sets for SAAB 95/96 available to buy in the early 1960s. (Modification required to fit SAAB 93 until 1959) 10. Opening rear side windows were already on the SAAB 95/96 Monte Carlo and GT and then on the SAAB 99EMS/99Turbo etc. Enjoy your SAABs Auto Autopsy, Greetings from a loyal SAAB driver since 1977 😎👍
And yet you’re subscribed to me? How do I not appreciate the car?? Enlighten me a bit and explain one thing about how this video is bad. Better yet, make a similar video yourself. You clearly are not much of a C900 fan; this car has about a dozen indications that it’s not a SPG (including the color), but yet you’re calling it one. 🤷🏻♂️
You didn’t show the cool thing about the seat height adjustment - that the handle telescopes for ease of movement.
I can’t believe I didn’t know that was I thing 🥲
@@AutoAutopsy Ah well, when you’ve been driving Saabs for 41 years, you notice a few things. 😉

Something else unique to SAAB -- you must use the key to lock the driver door. You can't push down the lock and close the door, it will pop up.

other cars have also had the "cup holders" on the glove compartment lid.

I’m curious if yours does…being a 4 door. Let me know! 🤨
I'm torn between getting an OG 900, NG 900 or a later model 9-3. My concern is reliability and parts availability. Which do you think would be better in that department.
The NG 9-3 would be your answer if you’re talking parts and reliability. I have hundreds of videos on them if you’re interested in learning more!
On the earlier models that had a distributor, the engine mount that was in the front of the vehicle would break. The engine would pop up and the distributor cap would contact the hood and it would shatter. This would cause the engine to stall. I made a lot of money repairing Saab's.
they switched to a different style front mount at some point. That might be why!
My 900 from 1990 has the oh shit handles !

The only car that can rival the 900 by Saab is the 9000 Aero. It is one of the biggest sleepers I've ever experienced, absolutely insane.

6. SAAB already had raise and lower/angle front seats on the old SAAB 95/96, but did not have a lever. Here you had to use tools. Under the chair rails there are wedges that you can turn, if you are short, or remove completely, if you are tall. But like I said, a little more work.
7. Having to lock the car in reverse was safer than steering wheel locks, which are easier to force.
8. A bottle opener is everywhere there are sharp edges. That the bottle could be opened precisely in the trunk lock is just a coincidence that someone came up with completely randomly. After countless bottles were opened here, it soon became time for the tailgate lock to be adjusted a little due to poor fit.
9. Folding the rear seat is something you could do on all SAAB models and there were already bed sets for SAAB 95/96 available to buy in the early 1960s.
(Modification required to fit SAAB 93 until 1959)
10. Opening rear side windows were already on the SAAB 95/96 Monte Carlo and GT and then on the SAAB 99EMS/99Turbo etc.

Regards a classic 900 owner!
And yet you’re subscribed to me? How do I not appreciate the car?? Enlighten me a bit and explain one thing about how this video is bad. Better yet, make a similar video yourself.
You clearly are not much of a C900 fan; this car has about a dozen indications that it’s not a SPG (including the color), but yet you’re calling it one. 🤷🏻♂️
