Saab Owner
This car is the best car I have ever owned. It is great to drive and is very dependable.
Was thrilled at first.
I bought this car 10/04 with 39,000 miles on it. I got if for a good price and was thrilled. In five months of ownership, I've spent $3,500 in repairs. BEWARE, all Saabs esp. for models years 99-01 have an inherent problem with their electronic distributors. They fail regularly and cost $450+ per distributor to replace (there's 2 on the V6). It's a great car and fun to drive, but OOH THE COST TO FIX! You shouldn't have to carry a spare distributor in the trunk as many Saab owners have taken to doing.

Best All-Around Family Sedan
Always use Edmunds for my research, so after deciding on a 2000 Saab 9-5 SE I felt obligated to provide a review. This vehicle is the only european car to make Consumer Reports list of "Best Bets" and having owned it for over a month, I can see why. Hands down the safest, most reliable and most enjoyable family sedan on the market. A delight to drive, even better than my friend's BMW 5-series (at much less an upkeep cost). Its comfortable interior and Saab design belies the incredible acceleration provided by the V6. I could not be happier with my purchase and look forward to many years of enjoyable driving!
Great Car for the Money
This has been an excellent car. I was hesitant at first to buy a saab but my wife really wanted it. I did some research and found most people had good success out of them. Not to mention the fact the dealer paid for the 60k timing belt replacement. We have had the car for about 30k miles now and have not had a bit of trouble out of it. The 9-5 has been great. I am suprised that they really arent more expensive on the used market. They really are one of the best buys out there.
GMs New Vega
Towed countless times to shop or home (can't remove rust on wheels, dead direct inginition bank, failure to start, etc.). Interior falls apart around you (carpet disintegrating, rear brake light housing fell off). Blew shocks at 45K. Leaks antifreeze from unknown location at 17K. Trunk release, data display and seat heaters, inoperative since 50K
