I love a SAAB

2000 Saab 9-5 Gary Fisher Edition Turbo 4dr Wagon
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

I bought a 2000 Gary Fisher edition wagon about 3 months ago with 25,000 miles. This car was/is in fantastic shape. In 3 months I have put on 8700 miles and have fallen in love with this vehicle, and plan to keep it for atleast 200,000 miles. Will it last that long? I dont know this is my first SAAB, but so far Im hooked for life. I am dissappointed in the fuel ecnomy as in 3 months I have not gotton over 24 mpg, and I drive 98% highway, althouh I do have quite the lead foot! ALTHOUGH BEWARE OF CENTRAL SAAB IN NORWOOD, MASS!!!!

Underappreciated Vehicle

When I was looking for a new used car, I wanted it to be fun to drive, reliable, and also luxurious. I also wanted it to be unique. This car fits the bill, I have the manual trans and it is great! The turbo lag is non- existent (perhaps someone with more skill notices a turbo lag) it looks great, it's comfortable for 4 people (including rear heated seats). My only complaint is with the cupholders - although everyone talks about how cool the folding cupholder is, it only holds standard sizes and sometimes it's difficult to get the can out.

Stand Out From the Crowd

Buying this car used, with Saab's massive depreciation, is the best bang per buck out there! Must get the 5 speed to take advantage of the overboost. Luxurious interior, good power, nimble handling, and best of all, you stand out from allthe So. Calif. ubiquitous MBZ's and BMW's, because there's few Aero's.

Love Hate Relationship

I bought a used Saab 9-5 SE with 98000 miles on it. It was the car of my dreams. I've never liked a car so much. Until it started leaking oil. Then the oil gasket blew. And the ABS module blew. And the serpentine belt blew. And 2 months later the entire belt tensioner blew, causing the serpentine belt to snap, causing a melt down. The list goes on. In the course of a year, I spent $3000 in repairs. The shameful thing is that I love driving this car so much, I actually considered getting another one. Had to slap myself out of it, because it really is better as a second car you only take for long highway rides. <Sigh> Guess I'm gonna have to find a 12-step program for Saab drivers.

2000 Aero - nice ride

The 9-5 is a significant improvement over the previous 9000 in most every way. The Aero model is a great combination of practicality and performance. Roomy, safe, good gas mileage, run to drive and great performance. The ride is surprisingly comfortable given the capabilities of the suspension to hold the road.
