Bought this car used with about 45K on the clock. Had for 3.5 years and put about 70K miles on it. Always ran synthetic oil, maintained the car very well, and the engine has failed at just 116K miles. Very disappointed, as I really enjoyed this car, and it was my second Aero, and now have a worthless car. I don't think I'll ever buy another one. also, very frustrating is the digital display always goes out on these things.
Outstanding car

Just got an *outrageous* deal on an '03 9-5 Aero with the touring package. It was a leftover and I bought it directly from the dealer (they held the title) with 100 miles on the odometer and plastic still on the seats. This car has met and exceeded all of my expectations significantly. This car is a perfect cross between a luxury sedan and a European sports sedan. It is very unique all the way down to the pop-out cupholder. I could not ask for more power in a car - this machine always has *plenty* on reserve thanks to the fantastic turbo. This car is also *comfortable* and very roomy. The auto transmission is very smooth and works like a charm.

Love the car and it's ablility to perform. I am dissapointed with the build quality. I have creaks and shakes in the dash and surrounding areas. I came from a 5 series BMW, and will go back to BMW. I have had the drivers seat fixed 4 times, and it is still loose from the base. My dealership experience has been less than o.k.

I once loved this car. I traded my 1999 9-5 Linear with 110k mi for this AERO. The Linear was much better. The only leg up this car has is the acceleration and body cladding. In one year, I have replaced the engine, replaced the head gasket for the replacement engine, fuel pump, injectors, turbo, DI cassette, SID display, tabs that keep the windows from rattling, an electrical junction box, and I paid for emission hose updates (not covered by warranty), and yesterday a pully broke leaving me stranded. The car has only 71k miles, and I've owned it for only a year. This is my 3rd and worst SAAB. This car was built for the service bay and not the road. My love affair with SAABs is over.

I had purchased this vehicle not even 2 weeks and it died on me. I had bought it with about 57K miles, and two weeks later on the way to a mini vacation it leaves me stranded in the middle of the freeway. I took it back to the selling dealer and also their Saab dealer and they slapped the machine on it and "Nothing is wrong with it, it drives like a champ." Again it had just died as i was accelerating through town, and then my speed gauge gradually goes down once again! On my way back from work on the freeway it died again! DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL. By the way i failed to mention i had to waste my money towing this vehicle every single time it died on me. STAY AWAY!
