There is an extremely strong gas smell in the cabin when temperatures are below 32 degrees. This appears to be a very common problem on these cars, as well as their Subaru cousins (Subaru WRX, Subaru impreza).

When starting up and driving in cold conditions (temperature below 32F, not referring to engine bay temperature but ambient), a fuel line 'shrinks' or 'leaks' fuel vapor and liquid onto the engine block and causes a very noticeable and nauseous raw gasoline smell. This condition is know and is in a recall for MY2002-2003 Subaru wrxs with the same engine as the 2005 Saab 92-X aero as well as other Subaru and is know to exist by many, many Subaru and Saab owners. This is a safety concern since mine is leaving gasoline directly on top of the cylinder head and could potentially result in a fire which in many circumstances can lead to serious injuries to myself and/or other motorists. My car is completely stock with no modifications to the power-plant of any kind.

Raw fuel odor in cabin. Took vehicle to personal mechanic as it was no longer under warranty. It was determined that fuel lines under exhaust manifold were dry and had cracked. Replaced two lines at the cost of >$750 parts and labor. A year later the fuel smell came back. Upon completing another repair, it was determined the other two lines were also dry and crack and were repaired. Cost could not be singled out as the repair was in conjunction with another. Fuel smell was present especially on cold mornings (<30F).
