9000 Aero owner here too !. Mine is on 154,000 miles now. Luckily for me i get to see many 9000's every week even now. I run "The SAAB Clinic" and we specialise in tuning these wonderful cars.

[@wurstmotors]

9000's are great!

[@johnyates3946]

looks like i might have one of your modded ecu's. Did you do any for the TT hybrid turbo?

[@dj_paultuk7052]

@@johnyates3946 Its possible. If its one of mine it will have a Saab Clinic sticker on the ECU. Feel free to contact me via my website if you have any questions.

Bought my 1996 9000 Aero 5spd as a beater. I now have a spare parts car and an extra engine to keep mine running as long as possible

[@marknelson5929]

I've just bought a silver 1997 9000 Aero manual, in immaculate condition with full service history. Been in the same family since 2002. Just how you want to buy them ie well cared for by a Saab family.

[@pederfallbom]

9000 Aero owner here, the best Saab version in my opinion 👍🇸🇪

[@wurstmotors]

Thank you!!

[@STOLerant]

Absolutely adore my '94 9000 Aero

[@wurstmotors]

This is a great car, I agree. What is your mileage now?

[@STOLerant]

@@wurstmotors I'm at about 220k miles. Currently in the process of rebuilding the engine as part of a restoration.

[@alexbritch02]

I own a '96 Aero aswell! Not in PERFECT cosmetic shape but man what a car! Blast to drive

Отличное произношение, истиннно русский ) без обид. А СААБ отличные машины строила.

[@kenmoore589]

I drive mine everyday, 9000 Aero. Outstanding car on 180,000 miles all original.

[@ericgraudins8901]

Great clip - thanks for putting it together. Love my 1995 Aero. 5 speed, stage 3 Maptun. Just clicked over 350,000 km and runs beautifully .

[@patrickmonaghan8555]

Same here Eric, all though my 1995 9000 Aero is an automatic and it too has over 355K. I have two other SAABs including a 2011 Turbo 6 which is a beautiful car, but my 1995 is still my favorite. I'll bet that Maprun must make your run like the devil is chasing it!!! Good luck to you and the your 9000!!!

[@vibingwithvinyl]

8:56 The 3-litre V6 in the 9000 was not turbocharged, it was naturally aspirated.

[@Mindblazter80]

Beutiful car.. have owned maybe 15 of this in my younger years. So good cars in many ways.

[@prosipp]

my absolut favorit, 6 of them in the past ,all 2,3 ltt 170hp, now back for a full spec low milage 2,3 turbo aero -97, and im soo happy

[@johnyates3946]

Good video and love for these cars has grown so much over the last 20 years. Stage three hybrid turbo 1997 9000 aero in black with tan leather as my daily driver and a griffin for effortlessly wafting along .............

[@wurstmotors]

Thank you!!

[@patrickmonaghan8555]

Really great and informative history of this equally great car. I have owned 4 9000 Aero's and still own one, a 1995. I would have kept them, however people either kept running into me and totalling them or helping family by giving them over. I am keeping this last one and that is for sure

[@5610winston]

The 99 was a pretty cool little car. So was the 96 V4. I wouldn't mind having 9-2x Linear...

[@luketaplin42]

What a fantastic vid Respect brother❤ I absolutely love the the Saab brand My Dad had 900 Turbos in the 80s then 900s with APC for engine management he ended up with a T16 AERO in the uk so 185bhp very quick car back then My brother got hold of a 9000cse 150 bhp and threw a lot of money into it to make it AERO a seats wheels suspension and a 2.3liter engine made just over 300bhp Really sad how Saab got sold off and just disappeared they were a proper car builder

[@wurstmotors]

Thank you so much!

[@jounipenttila9908]

Just read today, that one V8 prototype engine was made around 1988 here in Finland by Saab-Valmet and Valmet Linnavuori factories. The project was kind of secret. When the engine was ready it was assembled to a Saab 9000 and also introduced in Saab Sweden. It never went to a production. Because of the small space under the hood the V8 engine was made by joining together two 4 cylinder engines together!

[@wurstmotors]

They experimented a lot. There was also a convertible prototype, and it's a pity that they didn't put it into production.

[@jounipenttila9908]

@@wurstmotors Yeah. The Power output of that engine was 280 hp / 330 nm. The Saab could easily reach 250 km/ h. Weakest point in the powertrain was the original transmission.

Thanks for the video.I owned a combi coop 93, great.A 900 4 door manual,great.A 9000 turbo auto.The turbo engine and gearbox were amazing.The floorpan/chassi were the most flexible/useless that I have encountered.I just bought a Subaru Forester and even though I liked the strength of the early SAABS the fit and finish of this makes all previous cars look like junk.

[@petezzzz]

"horsepowers" 😅 I love it. I'm going to use this from now on!

[@PolosLatinos]

4 Saabs. A 9000CSE, a 9⁵ estate Vector, a 9⁵ sedan Aero (all 2.3) and a 9⁵ NG (TTiD). All M/T. The nicest to drive is the 9k to this day!

[@wurstmotors]

Oh, it's really cool! Thank you!

[@badstep7637]

2:32 mistake .. Enval did not design the SAAB 99 - that was Sixten Sason (Hasselblad camera) Enval just did some work later for the CombiCoupe because Sason was sadly gone before 99 was released the 9000 would have done better street performance by introducing a new rear axle by rebooting it as the CS Version It would have been an amazing step to better Handling in any situation . In any other kinds : ONE of the best cars ever built and standing strong beside you many years with one of the best 4 cylinder engine that hooks up better than most 6 cylinders

[@wurstmotors]

14:35 I thought Saab put the ignition switch in the console behind the shifter.

[@wurstmotors]

It is correct for other SAABs. 9000 was built on an Italian platform, so the location of the ignition lock was determined by Italian engineers. On later models (like my 9-3) SAAB returned to the ignition between the front seats.

[@5610winston]

@@wurstmotors Where it belongs. Actually, the ignition switchh might be placed more safely on the of the driver's seat away from the front-seat passenger.

I'm sad that several of the examples in this video look very rough.
