Used 2001 Saab 9-5 Wagon Consumer Reviews
Love my 2001 Saab 9-5!!
I've owned my 2001 Saab 9-5 wagon and I still love driving it in 2016. Original suspension in-place with 90k miles on it and still handles well. The power plant and suspension are great on this car. On the downside, the center digital instrument display always had problems with dead pixels. Had it replaced and same problem. Over the years just had to replace the alternator once, and the HVAC controls go nuts sometimes and throws out heat on the drive side when the AC is blowing from other ducts. Otherwise it drives smoother than my 2015 Honda CRV which is bumpy and full of air leaks.

Useful and fun!
Replaced my Toyota Camry wagon with the smaller Saab last year. Very fun to drive and extremely comfortable - I spend a lot of time in my car between commuting 35 miles each way to/from work and driving two hockey playing kids all over New England. Have had no mechanical problems and car gets good mileage - over 27 mpg combination of highway and city driving.

SAAB Certified 9-5se Wagon
My Wife and I purchased this untitled, program car with 7000 miles and have driven it to 55,000 (mostly) trouble free miles. Saab has provided excellent service and this has kept us coming back to them for regular maintenance items and oil changes. I believe that this car will indeed last well beyond the 100,000 mile, 7yr. warranty that is provided as part of the certification process. The two things that have given us problems are the Trip Computer (which will fail in any 9-5 eventually), and the transmission linkage. Both were replaced under warranty (no charge).
Love this car!
I bought my wagon to replace/upgrade from my Honda wagon. Absolutely love this car! I put on about 250 miles/week commuting, plus errands. Seats are extremely comfortable, ride is quiet, automatic turbo is quick off the light. Did have a problem with the turbo at 20K miles; dealership fixed it under warranty and didn't cost me a dime. Not good in snow, much to my surprise - have to get snow tires. Even so, my husband has a brand new SUV; I much prefer my car over his (except in the snow).
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!
