Nice Car

Bought this car due to GM and Saab discounts. Fun to drive, mileage on city/hwy 25 to 33 mpg. Accelerates smoothly, handles well, brakes well. Cruise control maintains speed well. Plenty of room in front and back seats for moderately sized people. Paid $18,500 for linear with automatic and cold weather package. Suprised at good mileage for an all wheel drive vehicle. Would recommend based on limited experience, with available discounts. Seats split and fold flat without having to raise back seat. Can sit a person in one side of back seat and fold down other side. Good all around visibility from drivers seat.

I'm really loving my new SAAB!

I ended up going with the Linear because I have a 35 mile drive to work everyday and the Areo's turbo power means a max of 25 mpg and premium fuel - the Linear takes regular and gets 30mpg. I'm not disappointed though - this car is a lot of fun to drive. The Linear has plenty of power , the styling is great and even though I've been told other Saab 93 and 95 owners may turn there noses up at the 9-2x's Subaru heritage - I'm re-assured that this car was built on a solid platform from a car company noted for reliability.

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.

Great Little All Wheel Driver

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.

Fun car has practical side, too

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.
