Used 2001 Saab 9-5 Consumer Reviews
Great car
My first Saab and will (hopefully) not be my last. I have a lower back issue and do not ride in cars very well. However, I can ride long distances in this car in relative comfort. Kick the sport in and it goes!
going strong after 2.5 years
Since initially test driving the car and drivng it off the lot, the car has performed flawlessly. I don't ask much of the vehicle, but it does everything I need it to. In its first 15,000, I drove lots of stop and go. Now, its smooth sailing every day. In both situations, the car has been happy and so have I, except for the traffic. Maintenance has been limited. The only surprise has been brakes - but I suppose this is due more to the stop and go traffic rather than the components. Out here where it gets hot in the summer (not as hot as Arizona or Nevada, but hot nonetheless) the lenses on the headlights developed cracks and were replaced without questions. A solid performer.

So far so good
One year old now and no service issues. Rides great. The 6 cyl. turbo engine is deceiving. It accelarates well from 0 - 30, and really well when you put it in "Sport" mode. But the real power is in the 30 - 50, or even 50 - 75 range. This car flies! It has tremendous passing power. The car is as smooth & stable at 90MPH as it is at 25MPH. No "turbo-lag". This car is smooth, powerful, comfortable. There may be more powerfull cars, or more comfortable cars, or even more reliable cars, but when you add it all up, this car gets high marks across the board.
Saab lover
I got my 9/5 Aero about 3 month ago and im loving it so far. No mechanical problems at all.Driving 100 mph in the Saab is like diving 40 in other cars. It handles very vell and is comfortable to sit in for longer trips. There is so much power in this thing you can toy around traffic with all the power you want and precision steering.

The most unbelievably solid car I've ever owned, period.
