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.

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.

This is an excellent vehicle. I had the upgraded ignition system installed adding about 15 horsepower. This 4 cylinder turbo charged engine runs like a top and has plent of power. I get 24/32 MPG around town/highway. There is plenty of leg room and trunk space. The car rides like a dream. I have driven as much as 1900 miles with very little stopping and no discomfort. Overall this is a wonderful car. My lease expires this fall and I will either keep this car or get another one.

ABS Module

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.

I have owned a 9-5 Aero Sedan for over 2 years and found it to be an excellent car. Great all around blend of functionality and fun to drive. Excellent performance, great gas mileage, and very comfortable. I recently drove for 475 miles straight in one day, with no fatigue (love those heated and ventilated seats. I am looking forward to my next one.
