Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Sporty good looks, forgiving ride quality without sacrificing road feel and handling precision, punchy acceleration on turbo models.
Cons
- Interior more Subaru than Saab, lacks premium features like a navigation system and stability control.
What’s new
The 9-2X is an all-new sport wagon from Saab. Sporty and versatile, it shares its platform and mechanicals with Subaru's Impreza wagon.
Edmunds says
If you don't mind a strong shot of Subaru with your Saab and are in the market for a sporty wagon, the 9-2X could very well be the ride for you.

2005 Saab 9-2X Linear 4dr Sport Wagon (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
I would have bought the Impreza wagon but, the seats were too narrow. However, the Saab Leather seats are slightly wider, much more comfortable. What astounds me about this car is the fuel mileage. I drive pretty quickly in town, and get 29-30. On the highway, I get up to 34 mpg. Wow.
100k Problem-Free Miles!

2005 Saab 9-2X Linear 4dr Sport Wagon (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
I've been driving this car 150 miles daily to work and back and have not had a single issue with it. The car averages 33mpg and is awesome in the snow and ice. I anticipate driving it another 100k miles.
Good First Car

2005 Saab 9-2X Linear 4dr Sport Wagon (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
Wife bought the 05 9-2x Linear, with cold weather package (heated seats, windows, leather, etc.) at the end of 2004 to be used exclusively as her primary vehicle in her pharma sales job, which requires a LOT of driving. About 180,000(!) miles later, its Subaru quality is still shining through. In all this time, it's only required new tires and brakes at regular intervals. This is a car … that is driven often in the back roads of central Virginia and the Appalachia area of West Virginia. It's always burned a bit of oil, and the fog lights have had to be replaced due to sand and rocks thrown from trucks during the winter. This is a quality car, fun to drive (5-spd). Highly recommend.
