Different, but in a good way...

I bought this car with 52K mile in 02/2002. The car came with leather and winter pkg. 5-spd is the way to get the most out of the engine. I have over 130K miles now and still on the original clutch. Turbo started to go at around 90K, but it's still boosting just fine (makes noise). I've had several problems with A/C heater core (they have a $200 fix now), ignition, direct ignition. I've found a good mechanic which is the only reason I've kept the car. Car handles well, looks great, and offers a unique alternative to Lexus, Infiniti, Volvo. Overall a very satisfying experience, but only since I've found an alternative to the dealership. This is an extremely comfortable, practical car.

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!

very solid car over the past 4 years. The car does need more power though. Other than that it is a fine automobile.

This car is amazing. I love it. I never liked the way saabs looked and never thought I would buy one. But when I sat in it ... I fell in love with it. I love the leather and all the extras! I'm thrilled with it, and my next car will probably be a saab.

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
