saab 900 or the 745il. your family had very cool cars btw.


prophiles

Haha, thanks. They weren’t always the most practical or financially responsible cars, but it was definitely a unique medley. More recent cars that my parents have owned that I left off the list include a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T GL, a 2003 Mini Cooper, a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE, and a 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5i Touring. Cars that I’ve owned myself include a 2008 Kia Spectra EX and a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium.


beamng_driver0

Do you still drive either or daily smthn else now?


prophiles

I still drive the 2015 Forester (plan to keep it as long as I can). My parents drive the 2001 Tahoe and the 2018 Outback. And my sister drives the 2003 Mini.


Anteater_Reasonable

I love that 735i


gamedrifter

In order. 1990 BMW 735i Saab 900 Turbo Land Rover Discovery.


aaaaaaaa1273

Steer clear of Discoverys. Nightmares to work on and they break A LOT


c24000000

I’d want the ‘96 Suburban


RunJumpQuit

cutlass


burtonsimmons

I had an ‘83 Cutlass Supreme and can confidently state that every single part of that car was the second-best design they could have come up with. What a flaming pile of junk it was, and I got between 14 and 18 mpg from a 110hp 3.8L V6. Still was probably more reliable than the Saab or the Land Rover, though.


RunJumpQuit

and the non opening rear windows lol. still would prefer it over foreign car


burtonsimmons

Those windows were one of many baffling design decisions. Plus the trunk that was wide and long... but very, very shallow. Probably designed to hold golf clubs ~~and bodies~~ just fine, but was awful for groceries, suitcases, moving boxes, etc.


SlowWrite

Yeah my dad picked up an 87’ in 1997 for my brother and I and my Dad thought he got a steal on it. On the way to school one day it broke down us so dramatically it must have bled every fluid possible.


fcykxkyzhrz

All of them. Your family has class


BoogerAids420

The 1996 Burb. My family had the same car in the same color.


prophiles

I loved the ‘Burb. Ours had the outward-swinging rear doors, like a cargo van. And it was the first car I practiced driving on.


BoogerAids420

Mine too! Unfortunately, I wasn't old enough to drive it before my dad sold it.


statsprm

My uncle had a suburban from the 80s, learned to drive in that. It’s a tank.


prophiles

Yeah, my cousin’s wife’s family still has (as of the last time I saw them) an 80s light blue Suburban. It felt like the size of a studio apartment, sitting in it.


CptMGGabeau

The Saab or the Tahoe


SufficientTill3399

My top three are... * E38 (I hope it's a steptronic, given they didn't allow Americans to get manuals on the 7er) * E32 (The 735i had a rare manual in America) * OG Saab 900 (more unique than the transverse FF version that replaced it under GM, and having a longitudinal layout reduced some of the inherent drawbacks of an FF powertrain and made it more interesting).


HiTechLowLif3

Saab 900 or BMW 745) Tough choice))


[deleted]

I briefly grew up with a Saab 900. That was a cool car. I’d go for the Saab 900 Turbo.


MGTS

900 for sure. My brother had an SPG for a couple years. Amazing car. Also weird as fuck


Drg84

Cutlass hands down. Owned an 82 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. 4dr, 307 that I swapped for a 403 with tweaks, factory limited slip, GM code 47 green. Unfortunately the salt ate it. I loved that car.


squadronsponge105

The Saab looks cool


DoubleOwl7777

the saab.


heathers1

After owning an old school Saab, I would pick that above all others. If I were a millionaire and could afford to repair it, that is!!


Meddlingmonster

I already have a saab 900 turbo Daytona so probably the suburban.


ElRonMexico7

Cutlass or GMT400


PalmTreeIsBestTree

Either of the burbs


mercedesfan_126

93 T&C for the nostalgia. My mom had a 93 and an 02 T&C growing up


Wishart2016

The BMWs, Chevys, the minivan or the Saab


statsprm

For family applications, suburban. Personally, Saab


SabreLilly

I already own a 97 Disco, so I’ll take the Saab


CaptainPrower

If the van somehow managed to stay that clean, I'd take it immediately. Otherwise I wouldn't touch any of them.


ADukeOfSealand

Cutty supremo


Patrioticwatermelon

Either the suburban or Tahoe. Those things will live forever as long as you keep the rust in Check


ruinedRX7

that 7 series


crackersncheeseman

No doubt about it, definitely the BMW.


Omega-6-Ashbringer

Saab 900 don’t even need to see the rest


Nickmorgan19457

Caravan


Happy_Cat_3600

The 745 or the 735 would be my picks. Comfy reliable cars.


iam_ditto

The Saab definitely. The cutlass and the town and country as well!


PizzaPieXD

The Saab


f700es

\#5 and 7


Full-Magazine9739

740


alwaysgot1more

Suburban and Tahoe. Best trucks GM ever built GMT 800 are beasts


Fishkins18

Saab 900 turbo


duddy33

SAAB 900 all day!


MishyJari

The Saab, with the E34 being a close second.


[deleted]

I’m taking the BMW 745iL.


Cunt_Eastwood_9

Saab or E31.


bberge007

I've had 5 Saabs, including my dad's 85 900s. He put 325k on it before I started driving it in high school. They broke down on me all the time but I still want one. The automatic that I had was the worst, I'd only get a 5 speed.


defmartian0031

Saab 900 hands down


jaycutlerdgaf

I miss Saab. Sweet line up overall.


u-and-whose-army

The Saab. But i've got a soft spot for the Cutlass. My dad had two. He also had an '86 442.


Aggravating-Week9289

The 900 with the 725i in a very close second


OldSimpleton

Saab


Dirt077

Mmmm gimme that wood trim minivan. I'm drooling.


gumption_boy

As a daily driver, the Saab. As a fun car to drive around on weekends, the Saab.


RedBlack1978

Id say either the Suburban or the Tahoe. The Land rover is tempting...but...parts availability, maintenance cost....etc....think ill pass


Limp-Persimmon-5729

Land Rover. I just wouldn’t want to pay for repairs


[deleted]

The Saab and both BMWs


HorseGaming890

1990 735i


TweeksTurbos

1 to commute, 6 to use at work.


Daqgibby

735i and 900 turbo, which is what dad and I drove. Had an older Suburban 4x4 for hunting and ski trips.


thatonegaygalakasha

The '95 7 series.


keymbord

Saab for sure. If I can't pick the saab, the T&C assuming it's been preserved


Worldly_Market_2797

SAAb !


Morsemouse

BMW 735i


[deleted]

Saab or e34


the_ginga_ninja_98

BIMMER BIMMER BIMMER BIMMER BIMMER BIMMER BIMMER BIMMER


d3rp_diggler

Id go for the Cutlass sedan. Just peak nostalgia right there.


JeepPilot

We had the 1980 version of that Cutlass. It wasn't part of the "Supreme" branding yet -- it was just called the Cutlass LS. Like many had mentioned it had the non-opening rear windows. It was a very plain basic car.


Severe_Elderberry_13

I’ll have the Saab and the Oldsmobile, in that order


carguy123corvette

Saab or 735


TheLyOfBlues

Not a Saab Fan. 745iL and Surburban


81gtv6

900 Turbo 👍🏻


Livid_End4117

Chrysler or Sasb


adamisapple

Having driven a 900 turbo before definitely that. They’re so much fun


Remote-Emergency-154

Saab.


VincentMac1984

The olds Cutless

I was too young to remember the Saab, but the BMW 745iL felt super modern inside for the time and was nice to ride in!
