Saab 900 Engines and Transmissions

Saab 900 engine choices mix size with how you shift. Cabrio examples include the 2.3 MT, 2.3 AT and 2.5 MT — gasoline cars with a front-wheel-drive drivetrain, offering a 2.3 with a manual or automatic transmission, or a 2.5 with a manual. That powertrain sample is not the full range.
