After lurking in this and other forums for the last couple of months, I've read enough and driven enough to know the Territory is what I want. So today I ordered a RWD Ghia in Silhouette, 3rd row seats, towbar, carrybars, alloy scuffplates, auxillary input and tint. 3 weeks to delivery and counting.
As far as I can see the issues raised here for first year models are no different to other forums. I'm a moderator at
www.saabcentral.com for the new 9-3 Sports Sedan. It has its fair share of teething problems but like the Territory its a great car. Nothing bland and ordinary about either.
Unfortunately I won't be driving the Territory that much, I've had a merger with my partner and her kids, so a 7 seater was needed. Drove so many soul-less people movers and fugly klugar type things. Nothing compared to the Territory. You get a lot of car for your money with the Honda Odyssey, but I didn't want to drive around in a hearse!
First project is to wire a BT handsfree kit - Siemens HKW-600 I think. Anybody done one?
Jeez I just checked when I joined up here, oct 04, have I been procrastinating that long?
