Sorry, but it`s hard to imagine a Saab turbo to be boring, unless you drive on 15" wheels which don`t offer enough road feedback:>
Have you considered performance chipping it and improving underpan aerodynamics? Both improve performance and mpg.
I love Saabs, in fact I love them so much I made an office chair from a 9-5 seat and it`s very comfortable and good for my back.

The reason I say its boring to drive are manyfold.
1. The Low pressure turbo runs out of wheeze quickly.
2. the steering is DEAD- no real feedback
3. UNDERSTEEER!
4. Rear end is loose due to large Hatch
5. Too many valves, not enough cylinders
To be fair though, I have been driving BMW's for the last 7 years prior to geting this
However, its just started drinking coolant and the exhaust is blowing, so my MPG seems to be dropping
Hope to get a looka t it this weekend...
