Top Notch for the Aero

This vehicle has provided a range of diversity with regards to comfort, performance, efficiency and practicality. I regularly take road trips with bikes on the roof, or gear in the wagon area along with friends. The car gets me there quickly with it's powerful turbo engine (I do have the 5-speed), in comfort (the ventilated seats are a must in hot weather) and efficiently (frequently 30-32 mpg highway). I highly encourage anyone buying this car who lives in a snow belt to absolutely buy a second set of wheels/tires for the snow. This makes a huge difference. Overall, I could not be happier with thie vehicle. With 75,000 miles on it, there have been no significant repairs.

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!!!!

This is my third Saab. Although I miss the quirkiness of my old 900s, this vehicle is head and shoulders above our old 9000cs. The car has cost us next to nothing to drive (especially once you consider the extremely reasonable lease packages Saab is putting together). The car has never been in to the shop for anything other than "scheduled maintenance," and Morries in Minnetonka, MN is even a reasonable place for an hour coffee break. I have really enjoyed this car.

My 3rd Saab, downsized from an 9000 Aero. less power, better quality and comfort. bought as end of lease with 100K warranty, cheaper that way. one major breakdown, idler puller went, under warranty. Do not like the automatic transmission though, no fun. Love my Saabs.

By far and away the most useless piece of junk I have ever owned. Bought it used with 140,000. Since then (within two years) I have replaced: The radiator, water pump (twice) fuel pump, transmission, countless dash bulbs, brake and headlight bulbs, sub woofer, driver's mirror, driver's sun visor, seat fans, two window motors, hatch struts to hold the hatch open- I use that so often that it is no wonder they broke!.As i write this the oil is leaking, the brake light failure keeps coming on, the hot box no longer works, the sun roof leaks. If anyone should think that this is a good car be forewarned. They are junk. Buy Japanese, buy German even by a Yugo you will appreciate the reliability. Finally sold it and bought Japanese.......
