Used 2001 Saab 9-5 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Great driving car...
Great car for driving, if your the dashboard diner type this may not be the car for you. Cupholders are basically non-existent and there really isn't any storage space for "stuff". The car looks great and performs even better. It truly was made for driving not dining.
Great car to drive and own
Car has almost 52,000 miles. Bought it when it had 15,000 miles. Rental company had used it first. No major problems. Good lumbar support, heated seats. I can leave everyone else at the light. Got 35 mph on cruise control. Handles well. Fun to drive.

Saab = Reliability & Performance
About to turn the car in after 3 great years. Never a problem with the car. Great stereo. Saab's tagline, "People who drive a Saab, buy one" could be more true. Seats are very comfortable, heated rear seats a bonus for the kids. Power is impressive for a larger car. Sport function on the automatic transmission really make a difference (never used the "regular" mode - it made the car drag).
Great to drive just too many problems
Love to drive, having terrible problems with sunroof making noise - going in for fourth repair, a noise in the dash area sounding like styrafoam rubbing together - absolutely annoying for such a luxury vehicle, lights are not suppose to change automatically and do, tires are wearing usually early a major problem with coolant sensor that has not been fixed - going in for third repair. On lease don't want vehicle anymore.
Not a bad car
Fun to drive, handles well and is very comfortable. It has also been very reliable, within a year of ownership no major problems. But I have two gripes. Like another comment posted here, I had an occasional problem with a sulfur smell from the catalytic converter. My other gripe, when in closed spaces like a parking garage, the noise from the exhaust manifold was so loud it sounded like the muffler fell off. Ok one other gripe, the resale value stinks. I have already traded it for an Audi A6. But I can say, it was a lot better than my 96 Volvo 850.
