2007 Saab 9-5 Consumer Reviews

Poor man's luxury sport

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

For some reason there are a glut of these 9-5s off-lease and available at reasonable prices. I'm basically happy with mine, it's been reliable, a good and economical performer although mine is plagued with the same as others gripe about; harsh ride at slower speeds and a persistent rattle. The turbo provides abundant acceleration (sport mode is a blast) and the car is a dream to drive in tight x-way traffic. It has the best brakes I've ever experienced, very comfortable seats, excellent sound system, and it looks classy (IMO). My Saab dealer has also been responsive thus far. No real worries.

2007 Saab 95 Wagon

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 SportCombi 4dr Wagon (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

Love the 2.3 turbo engine, very brisk especially in Sport mode, but very economical too. Smooth ride, very comfortable seats, could drive this all day long. I had a 2001 95 wagon up to 112,000 miles and was still going strong. Saab made many improvements over the years, while keeping things that work well. Gone are the wanky Info panel and Climate panel with the disappearing numbers. They kept the stalwart 2.3 turbo and updated the styling just enough to make it modern but still look like a Saab. I will keep buying Saabs!

Fun and practical vehicle

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 SportCombi 4dr Wagon (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

I traded in my 2007 Honda Pilot for this wagon in Jan 2010 - vehicle only had 15k miles on it. I haven't been disappointed. Although I did lose a lot of room, this car is just so much more practical and convenient. It was a pain to load my bikes onto the SUV, but this roof-line is lower and easier to do; I also have a canoe (yeah, you don't see many Saab owners driving around with canoes!) - also much easier to load. The car is solid, fun to drive, and comes standard with so many features. I also have a 2007 Acura (and have always had Honda), so it's a new experience to drive the Saab. It's extremely fast, great styling, and many of the features seem a-ha (like the dual sunshades).

Fun to Drive

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 4dr Sedan w/Aero Package (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

I decided to buy this car (a 2007 w/ 45,000 miles)- over the 2007 Honda Accord & 2007 Toyota Camry -after test driving all three. This car is the best ride of all three - by a long shot. It's the most fun I've ever had driving a vehicle - it has great power - 260 HP w/ turbo- and a smooth, quiet ride. Better ride than my wife's Mercedes- Benz ML 340. Long live SAAB !

Third Saab

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 4dr Sedan w/Aero Package (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

Nice car! Runs better on Super fuel. The front seat very cozy, back seats nice but not as much room as older models. Pretty sweet to look at in black.

A distinct vehicle

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 SportCombi 4dr Wagon (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

Totally enjoy the vehicle after going through two BMWs. The handling is terrific and I am totally surprised at the mileage - 21 city and 30 to 33 on highway. It has more than adequate power and rides nicely. Could improve on the cup holder. Add one. A distinct looking vehicle, particularly in black.

Still a Head-Turner!

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 4dr Sedan w/Aero Package (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

Fourth Saab. Very happy with the car overall. I like the old dashboard better from 1999-2005 (Seems more classic Saab than GM). Nice ownership experience from Saab, bought me back from Subaru.

Best Bang for Buck

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 4dr Sedan w/Aero Package (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

People too often make the mistake of comparing the 9-5 with top luxury car makers (BMW, Audi, Lex, etc). The only problem is that such a comparison doesn't take into consideration that those cars cost at least $20-30k more when you start factoring comparable extras. In its price class the Saab 9-5 is simply the best value offering sporty power and handling, great comfort (seats + interior roominess), decent gas mileage and a unique design. Really this car is equal parts fun and functional. While the 2.3L turbo takes you 0-60mph in 6.7s, what is really impressive is how it performs in its unique power band (40-70mph). In that range you are accelerating faster than a Porsche 911 Carrera.

A fun machine

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 4dr Sedan w/Aero Package (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

My first non-US car. I found great quality in the workmanship and material. All leather is not created equal and this is the tops. Love the look and the sunroof. 3 different transmission settings allow for a fun and responsive drive. So far, I'm sold on a SAAB. Free 36 month maintenance sure is nice. As said in manual, gas mileage improves as car is broken in. I've gone from 23 to 26 now. Mobile One and 93 Octane is used.

My favorite car of all time!

Vehicle

2007 Saab 9-5 4dr Sedan w/Aero Package (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

I've had this car for nearly a year and I love it! It's powerful, comfortable and gets very good gas mileage. The car is loaded with features and is designed with safety in mind. This car offers so much value for the dollar. I traded-in a Jaguar XK8 for this Aero and I have never regretted the decision. This car is great in the snow and hauls five passengers quite comfortably. The trunk is very large and the interior is well laid out. This is my favorite car I've ever owned.
