Used 2006 Saab 9-2X Consumer Reviews
Exellent Value
If you like the proven reliability of a Subaru and Saab styling this Saabaru is a great buy.
Excellent car for a reasonable price
Saab traditionists should take a test drive on this wonderful car, and it'll for sure change their mind. This car is considerably better than an Impreza wagon in looks, interior, ride quality, and built. Get in the car, and you'll love it. With incentives etc, you can get a fully loaded Linear for 26k...what a BARGAIN, imo.

So Far...
I have owned my 9-2X for 3-1/2 months and so far I'm generally pleased with my selection of the Saab 9-2X as my daily driver. It's a refined fusion of Euro-Style & Japanese AWD Technology. I am pleased with it's functional side as well as it's sporty/fun side. I like knowing that I have several safety features working for me with Side curtain and front airbags, ABS & 4 wheel disk brakes, AWD for slippery road conditions, and the Xenon driving lamps. I also feel secure with the great warranty offered. I really like the cargo capacity. The split fold down rear seats are vesatile feature. I would recommend this car for anyone whose functional criteria match up to what this car offers.
Beauty for the beast
Anyone up for a Subaru entree with Saab spices? I was, and it's delicious! The 9-2x Aero combines the practicality of a wagon (great for carting small- to medium-sized dogs, for example, or camping gear), the thrills of a turbo engine (it will put a silly grin on your face that you cannot wipe off), and the safety of all-wheel-drive with ABS and a limited slip differential. The turbo characteristics have been refined, so you won't necessarily take off like a Tasmanian devil at 3000RPM. The shifter is notchy and can definitely be improved. Seats are decent, and the two-tone interior is nice. Road noise is acceptable, but more than the Jetta I owned. In all, a practical car that spells F-U-N.
Great all-rounder
I just finished a 5 day drive from Michigan to Alberta in this vehicle, and I would do it again, no hesitation. The car performed admirably, as it has always done. It's been great in the snow (though I thought it was better the first winter;I expect the new tires will help), always reliable, and looks a lot better than the Subaru. The car's Achilles heel is the 4 speed auto transmission. It feels unrefined, and brings the average down a bit. I hoped for better fuel economy (20 city, 26 hwy), and replaced the very weak factory stereo. But over all, it's a great car which I intend to keep for a long time.
