I Like It - Aeros Rule

This is my favorite Saab. It is modern, crammed with content, joyously quick, solid, well-thought-out, safe, quick, still under warranty, fun to drive, and did I mention it is quick? The new- Saab dealer seems to want to take very good care of me, but the local used- Saabs-only dealer is a better bargain. I get 21-32 MPG and can rip off 6.6 second dashes to 60 and under 16 seconds to 100. It feels very composed above 125. Despite the good things I've heard about its reliability; I'll probably buy an extended warranty before the 50000 mile factory warranty exires; some of the parts for this car are a bit expensive and I want to keep it for a decade or so.

Our 9-5 has been a really good car. Mainly use it as a winter driver these days, but it is comfortable, quick and very fuel efficient on the highway for the performance the car delivers. On 6 separate occasions reached over 500 miles (800 kilometres) on a single tank of fuel. Parts can be expensive, but taking our car to a local ex-Saab mechanic who has his own garage, it's been wonderful. He immediately is able to diagnosis the situation and supply replacement parts at a price that a regular Saab dealer would not. Would I purchase a Saab again, absolutely but it has to have the performance, space and efficiency that the 1999-2008 95 has, which I understand is only about a year away.

A pretty fun/good car

Bought my 2000 9-5 used in 12/03. Went with the manual tranny which made it a little sportier. Bad turbo lag, but once it is in the turbo, pretty quick. Handling is fairly tight, not sportscar tight, but pretty good. Overall I was happy with this car. It drove well with very few mechanical problems until just recently, then it seems like everything started to fall apart. I just sold it for a '99 M3 w/ 50k miles. I think I am going to notice worlds of difference.
