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

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.

I bought this saab with 107k on it. This car is by far the worst car i have ever owned and i've owned a acura tsx, jeep, and chrysler crossfire. First week i bought the throttle body went bad and had to be replaced. A month later it was leaking oil, and i had to replace the crank seal. now 5 months later the car is leaking oil, the muffler is falling out from under the car, windsheild wiper motor went bad, car idles hard, and has no pick up what so ever. needs about 3k to fix. YEAH RIGHT! This car is an absolute piece of garbage never ever buy saab!

I made myself a Xmas present last year and bought the 9-5 SE V6t. After driving Audi A6 & BMW 5-series, I have to say that Saab has surprised me with the build quality and the overall performance. It has got to be the most comfortable ride of all. Most importantly though, I haven't had ANY problems with maintenance. It runs super-smooth and I wouldn't change anything about it.
