Great car. One year old now and no service calls at all. Great pick-up from 0-60, even better from 40-60. I have never had a car with such passing power. Roomy & comfortable. Good in rain & snow. Heated seats work better than in other cars I have had. Has ventilated seats that cool you in the summer! This car does everything well. Anyone considering an Audi, BMW or Benz should look at this car 1st.

The longer I have the car the more I love it. The car is extremely solid and does everything well. Very powerful, love the turbo sound. Gets great gas mileage, I get between 22-25 on average. The 9-5 is a complete tank in the snow, very sure footed. This is the first vehicle I feel safe in. After visiting a salvage yard and seeing wrecked SAABs, I know the car will protect me almost better than anything on the market. Some 9-5s have had problems, mine however has been absolutely problem free for over 28,000 miles. Coming from a person who keeps cars for 2 years or less, I hope to have this one for at least 200,000 miles. Good warranty.

I bought this 2001 9-5 used and love it! I think this car is the best value out there for a used, low mileage car. I've driven it 4500 miles with no problems.I like the fact that you don't see a lot of them on the road. (Have you noticed how many BMWs are on the road! Everybody and their brother has one!)I highly recommend buying buying a low mileage 2001 9-5. I think the 1999's have to many problems, that was the first year.

We have what would be termed the 9-5S. However it has all the extras on the SE except the V6 engine. Talked to the Saab mechanics at the dealership before I purchased. They recommended the 2.3 4 cyl engine. It's true Saab engine and more reliable. We have been very pleased in all respects. Did have a board in the computer go bad which left it dead until replaced, On Star worked great to get help.

This Aero 5 speed can run with the best of them. Can easily get 30 mpg on road trips. Different that the run of the mill sport sedan. The safety features are excellent, sa good as they get.
