This vehicle has been great. It has the ability to accelerate without the feeling that you are being thrown around the car. The overall comfort of this car is second to none.

Loving my '06 Saab

I got this car about a month ago, and am thrilled with it! It is a new color for '06 and I am glad I held out for it... Jet Black Metallic is beautiful! I feel bad parking next to regular black cars, b/c it makes them look bad... Very fun to drive, the turbo accelerates well, it is very zippy... It looks a lot more expensive than it was... Fuel costs are low, I think I've only filled it up once or twice since I've gotten it... Great stereo, the leather is a really pretty color and I love having stereo controls on my steering wheel..

The car is very safe, and drives like a dream, with mileage like a little Honda and performance that is out of this world. I could not be more happy with it! I think it is a shame that more people are not aware of what a great car this is for the money.

Got it with 28.000 on it a year ago, has 45.000 now, 0 problems so far (I did replace Death-Cool with Pentosin G12) SID is showing 35 Mpg (50% of my driving is freeway), not as fast as my old 9000 Aero, but I am very happy with the way it drives (took off-ramp with speed limit of 45 at 90 Mph few times). We have some snow in Utah (SLC), and I think it handles as well if not better than my old Subaru Outback with all-season Michelins, guess you have to know how to drive in the snow. It has that 300W sound system, and if adjusted right, sounds better than Bose in my friends 2007 Maxima (he himself said so), so I don't understand all the complaints.

Waited a year for the V6 and so glad I did!! Power on demand, just press the gas and you are gone. Exterior styling is very sporty yet classy. Love the look of the Aero so much. Interior is first rate also. No cheap materials or cheap looking plastic. The leather seats are a dream! Driving is light on the steering, yet you feel the road. Steering response is quick and provides enough feedback without feeling it. Love the dash and the layout. DVD navigation is right on! Not a harsh ride at all and could actually be a bit tighter I think. Overall a refined ride, great looks, and excellent feel but has a wolf under the hood! Test drove a 06 BMW 330 and chose the Saab... 'nuff said!
