I leased my Saab new in Nov. 2000. Ever since I brought the car home it has emitted a sulfur smell from the catalytic converter. The Saab service department told me to change gas brand and octanes and that the problem would clear up after 6000 miles. Then they said 10,000. I did everything they suggested and nothing helps. I can't even open the windows. The smell of sulfur makes you sick. But, what makes it worse is Saab's refusal to fix the problem. I was told by the dealership mechanic that they wouldn't do anything for me.

9-5 Aero a Blast to Drive

I've got to say the 9-5 Aero is the most fun to drive vehicle I've owned, and I've had many over the past 20+ years, including a BMW 525i that comes in second to this SAAB. The power is phenomenal, the handling awesome, the ride on the highway is silky smooth. I like how the computer compensates for any type of gas you put in from regular to super. The back seats are comfortable even for a 6-footer, and the passengers back there appreciate the heated seats. Exterior styling is good, but needs an update--the new 9-3 is better looking. For $14,900 I think I got a real bargain here-- wouldn't want to buy a new one at $40K with that kind of depreciation in 3 years though!
loving this car (again)

Went from a '99 9-5 to a '01 9-5 Aero when the first lease was up. We really liked the first car, but found that there were times when we could use more power (e.g. when attempting to merge into Boston traffic). The Aero has that power, and more. It rides incredibly well, is very comfortable, and (knock wood) we've not had any problems at all with it. We now have about 10K miles on it. We found with our first car that the 9-5 actually drives better the more miles it gets on it. That seems to be true with the new car as well. At 10K it seems to be just getting broken in.
Nice ride!

Nice Ride! Interior very roomy. Split rear seat makes it easy to put a couple of snowboards and gear in trunk and still be able to have someone sit in the back!
