Improved WRX, more affordable than WRX
It's a great wagon - speed, handling, AWD traction and cargo space in one classy package. And a lot of fun to drive. It does suffer from turbo lag and has average at best fuel economy. Nevertheless, this car (IMHO) not only looks better that WRX, but it is overall a better car. Considering current GM rebates and other discounts, it can be had for a lot less than 2005 WRX wagon which makes 9-2x Aero an excellent value.
Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
I traded in my Mazda Protege 5 for the 9-2x Aero a week ago, and haven't looked back. I was a bit concerned that I would miss the handling of the Mazda, but a week in the new car has put that worry aside! I absolutely love the handling of the all wheel drive, and the kick from the turbo is just a blast! It's like my Mazda and my old 98 Vette combined. Now I ask ya, can you get any better that that?? :-)

Best Value in 5-door sport compact
This 5-door Saab/Suub/Saabaru (pick your poison) is a step up from the great Impreza WRX wagon. More precise and comfortable handling, better body design, increased noise reduction, and overall better good looks differentiate this vehicle greatly from the Subaru. It's price is a bit on the steep side, but it's worth every penny. If the performance isn't quite up to snuff, you can always add aftermarket power toys to blow away the competition! I love this car, and I've owned and test-driven several 5- doors. This is by far the best of the bunch! Too bad they're practically sold out of the '05s. Buy an '06--you won't regret it!
Excellent deal for the money
Picked up my Aero 5mt early July, 2005 and have already put about 4400 miles on it. The car is a lot of fun to drive and a bargain for the less than $20k that I paid. Engine pulls strongly above 3000rpm and puts a smile on my face every time. Shifter is a little notchy but is getting better with use. Lower gears are spaced a little too far apart which needs them to be revved higher before upshifts for max performance. Interior is spartan by Saab standards, but quite adequate at its price point. Huge selection of WRX aftermarket bolt-on/tuning parts make it very easy to upgrade power and handling at reasonable prices. All in all, an excellent ride at a very affordable price!
Saabaru?
Nice car. Drives nice, roomy, comfortable, AWD, economical, and great price. Good warranty and it is a Subaru (Subaru, known for its reliability, made the car -base on Impreza- GM worked on quieter and upscale interior look.) Many people asked me what kind of car was it and if I ordered it from Europe
