Diesel can be an absurdity here in the UK where it's more expensive than petrol, but diesel engines are way more reliable than petrol ones and require less maintenance. A Euro5 diesel causes less pollution than petrol, and the consumptions are way better. I average 36mpg on my big engine, which is unrivalled.

The prob is not in carbon consumption or with the price of a gallon but with particles and Nox emission witch directly arms ppl and degrade the ozone layer. This is a well known fact since 1996/2001 era. There is nothing you can do against it unless keeping optimizing the regime what is not compatible with a private car that constantly revs up or down.

Regarding the spec stated, this website choose to quote only the low range of perf stated in the press. The Saab is also faster (at least the coupe as I knew it) with a perf in the 6sec range for 0 to 60mph.

Is the Saab RWD?

Thank you, yes everything you see on the car (base Carrera) is as it was built in 1996 (MY97), except the ride height was lowered to European RS spec when I had the M030 sport suspension package installed. Also the previous owner had the windows tinted and I added the transponder on the windscreen

OK one other thing I changed was I painted the black headlight washers silver with some silver touch-up paint from the corner auto parts store.

A 1997 Carrera S spotted in Moscow!! Same color and same Porsche 18" Technology wheels as on mine. You can tell by the metal valve stems and caps. The spokes are hollow, can you believe it? Super strong and light, aircraft grade really.
