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.

I bought this car used about 2 years ago with 88,000 miles on it. (My dad purchased a 2000 9-5 aero a few months earlier and I loved his so much I wanted one). It's a fun car to drive, love the sports drive option, and has good overall handling (except in the snow!) Mechanically...I always feel like I'm replacing something! The turbo has gone once already, air filters, struts, brakes, and the oil needs to be changed constantly or the check engine light comes on. The pixels in the dash computer keep going as well and it always reads 'tail light out' even though it's not. My dad has had similar issues with the dash computer and it is expensive to fix. This is a car I hate to love!

Very Poor Customer Service

I have grave concerns about the vehicle's reliability and Saab Customer service. As soon as we bought it, the car broke down during a move to GA. Trips to the dealership (one over a week) failed to resolve the issue. We still continue to have problems with the car. The Saab Customer Service department was extremely antagonistic, unhelpful, and even untruthful. The car continued to experience many minor deficiencies during this time. To date, all issues are still unresolved, and we have lost faith in the car's reliability, the Saab warranty and customer service department. Knowing what I know now, I never would have bought this vehicle.

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.
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.
