MDSF Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Greetings! Just wanted to formally introduce myself. I've been lurking here for close to 2 years and wanted to setup an account but each time something would screw up (usually with receiving the confirmation email). At one point I gave up. I was feeling lucky tonight and the sign up procedure was flawless so here I am. I know of all the excellent info here and hope to contribute as well. Cheers! BTW, Love my 2017 C-Max Energi SE. After 27 years driving SAABs I never thought I would enjoy a car as much as I did my 900s and 9-3s. Ford proved me wrong. ? obob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStorm Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Welcome - glad for a new member! At almost 197k miles, still love our 2013 SE. Also (except for some problems) I enjoyed a Saab 99 we had years ago - fun to drive. MDSF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sorta tempted to get the rare final generation 9-5 before jumping into our C-Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sorta tempted to get the rare final generation 9-5 before jumping into our C-Max. As did I. What a gorgeous car. In the end I was worried about replacement parts and high insurance costs due to the car's rarity. Ironic that the successor of SAAB, NEVS (National Electric Vehicles Sweden), is building 100% EV vehicles using the last round of 9-3 SAAB designs but only in China. I noticed lots of little similarities in my C-Max that I saw in my last 9-3 Sport Combi. For example, the tailgate assembly locking mechanism is virtually identical as is the rear storage cover assembly (the retractable bar, the way it operates and locks - identical). Cheers!
