Saab Aero is fun

I have driven a number of European vehicles over the years. The 2000 Saab Aero has definitely been the most fun to drive. After leasing it on a 42 month lease, I have decided to buy out the car. It is ergonomically built for the driver's comfort. Things which others find Quirky such as the ignition in the middle is actually much safer as the key and lock mechanism is known to cause knee injuries. This car has a 230hp engine and goes 0- 60 in around 6 seconds. Excellent safety record, great preformance and outstanding handling.
just perfect

This is a great car for the money. It drives so well my husband has scrapped the idea of getting a vette next year and will be buying a Saab. The wagon has all space you could want and all the comfort. I test drove competitors. Nothing touches the Saab.

2000 Saab 9-5 Gary Fisher Edition Turbo 4dr Wagon
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
Awesome wagon! I have had a Linear wagon, a Volvo wagon and 3 Subarus. The Gary Fisher is the best one so far! It has the standard turbo lag at first but when it takes off it is good to go. I did have the DIC replaced due to recall and SIDs should be a recall item too. But other than that it is a great car for the price. Also I went back to Subarus for awhile but honestly I missed the comfort of my Saab.
Awesome Ride!

This is my second 9-5 wagon but this one is Limited Edition Gary Fisher. Great car but I did do a Saab ECU upgrade and it took all the turbo lag out of it! No slow starts from the light anymore! It is almost like I have it in Sport Mode all the time. Best seats I have ever sat in for a long time and heated seats that don't cook your bottom. Car handles great in our Colorado snow with snowtires (no studs). It did have the standard SID problems, Coolant bypass valve, #6 PVC update and crappy tires. But I get BBA reman. to fix the SID and it has a warranty for 86 bones, PCV update 50 bones and now the car is ready to rock!

After replacing my own DIC (or IDM) for $319, I encountered another problem 2 months later. Warning lights on the dash came on; ABS, Warning Triangle, TCS. The speedometer and odometer stopped working. This all eventually causes the CEL to come on as well. I had it in the shop, did some research, reported this all to Saab USA. It turned out to be the ABS ECU. My service shop called Saab to see if they'd pick up the $2500 repaur cost. Saab offered to pay 1/2 and no labor (about $450). I said "no thanks" and did it myself for about $500.
