New Saab... Same 'ol Story

I leased my Saab 9-2X in October 2004. Besides the acceleration being a little weak... this is a fun ride weaving in and out of traffic or going out on the highway. Unfortunately my fun came to an abrupt end when I was in an accident, and had to start dealing with "Saab the Manufacturer". My Saab has been stuck in the body shop since November 1st... today is December 10th; that's 40 DAYS! From trying to acquire a parts/pricing list, to ordering the parts, there have been nothing but delays. Did I forget to mention my airbag DID NOT DEPLOY? I have yet to hear a response from Saab with my concerns regarding the airbag. The 40 day wait, that will end up at 50; Saab contends this is normal.

Overall this is a very competent car. I traded in my pick-up truck for an automatic Linear so I could save gas $$. So far I get around 27-28 mpg combined city and highway. This is the most stylish, inexpensive, and most efficient vehicle I could find that would get me up my steep driveway in the winter. The rear folding seats are versatile enough to handle my child seat and whatever other general items I need to haul. Acceleration is adequate, but I am not speed racer. Excellent price with the latest sdeals from GM/Saab.

This is the most fun-to-drive car I've owned. I am also very pleased to be getting just about 30mpg in these days of gas around $2.50/gal. Also, the $5000 rebate on top of employee pricing was unexpectedly generous. I'm very happy I bought this car! I feel 10 years younger.

So far, this car has been a blast to drive. The 165 hp is more than enough for my tastes. I have an hour drive, and am 6 ft, 230 lbs. No discomfort whatsoever. And 28 mph to boot. The 5 speed makes this package all the more fun.

Great car and value

We just purchased our 9-2x Aero and have been extremely satisfied. We purchased under GM's Employee Discount promotion for approx. $8000 below MSRP. Thus, we have a premium label, upgraded stereo, climate control, etc.,arguably better looks and handling with the same engine performance and reliability as the WRX, all for $1000s less. Many articles have been written about the car's performance, so I'll just say it is very quick and has excellent handling. The AWD is a useful feature on the slick Seattle streets. Up until the promotion I was set on a sedan (Legacy GT or TSX), but the value was too good to pass up and now I have to admit I really like the styling and driving something unique.
