I am still enjoying my car, but I do need to have the fuel injectors cleaned. I wouldn’t mind getting another car and using my current one as my commuter car, but I can’t afford a another car right now. Frankly, I am still impressed with the new Saabs and wouldn’t mind getting one in the next couple of years.

"I am still enjoying my car, but I do need to have the fuel injectors cleaned."

- Have you tried STP Fuel Injector Cleaner or some similar product?

I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to injectors - or any other area of automotive technology for that matter:D - but I've heard people say such products to have been well worth the money in their cases.

“I wouldn’t mind getting another car and using my current one as my commuter car, but I can’t afford a another car right now”

- Here in Europe, even a lot of married couples with children are satisfied with only one car. On the other hand, access to public transport is often better than in the US from what I've understood.

I don't know about Europe at large, but in Sweden there are about 0.55 cars per capita. In the US, I think there's something like 0.80 cars per capita.

“Frankly, I am still impressed with the new Saabs and wouldn’t mind getting one in the next couple of years.”

- I like SAAB a lot too. 20-30 years ago, most Swedes were either a SAAB-man or a Volvo-man and at that time Volvos and SAABs really WERE worlds apart construction wise. Today, Volvos have become more like SAABs; frontwheel drive, lots of rather original, innovative technological solutions and more of a “driver's car”.

By the way, Is your impression that there were more differences between a (standard) Chrysler, GM and Ford product in the past than there are today?
