best Saab I've owned

I've owned 3 other Saabs, this is built the best and most solid and easily the most reliable of all. I miss the odd quirkiness of the older models, but this is great for driving long distances. Set cruise at 73 and get 33 mpg, even in mountains. Nice enough to entertain clients. Huge trunk. Can also fit 3 car seats across the back seat!

I've owned this car 4 years and have put 120,000 on it. With a demanding travel schedule, I couldn't ask for a better and more comfortable ride. I've had a few minor problems with computer screens going bad on the dash, which aren't cheap to repair, by the way - but no major mechanical problems. When I wear this one out, I'll buy another one. Don't waste your time with an overrated and inferior Honda Accord or Camry, there's no comparison (for you die hard Honda Toyota fans). I also own an Accord, my 2nd one. The only reason it's sitting in my drive way is because it's a company car and I have to drive it. I cringe whenever I have to get behind the wheel

Not a perfect car but fun to drive

Bought it with some warranty still in effect. Good thing, needed a whole new heating system and a turbo almost immediately. But looks great, drives very well and doesn't drink a lot of gas! Best part is driving curvy hills - sticks to the road like a sports car. And I do that almost every day to get to work.

The 9-5 is great for the roadtrip. Handles and responds excellent. Seats are comfortable, leg room sufficient. Sporty ride combined with luxury features and comfort.

Best Car I've Owned

I've owned my Saab 9-5 SE 2.3 for five years, and I'm still waiting for it to show some signs of wear. It still drives like the day I bought it. This is the best used car value on the market by far. This is a large, roomy sedan, and I get 30mpg on the highway cruising at 90mph. The car pulls strongly through 100mph (top speed is over 140) and is rock solid at that speed. It has incredibly comfortable seats and the best stereo in any car in this class.
