Another great Saab. Lots of room for camping and a comfortable ride. My gas mileage was 32 driving to South Carolina with the AC on full time (5-speed manual.) Just like a tank in the snow with four snow tires, of course. Just won a People's Choice award at Saabs in Carlisle at the Carlisle Import/Replicar show in May, so the looks are great.

Great car to drive but when it runs. Without a doubt the least dependable car I've ever owned (including a Chevette in college). 52,000 miles and I've replaced the turbo twice, two oil leaks, digital dash display and the front left wheel bearing. Now, it won't start-jury still out as to why. I bought this car $12k under MSRP new and 3 years into a 5 year note I'm still $3k upside down. It seems many people know not to buy this car reflected by its resale, or lack there of. Maybe it's the 6-cyl as Saab quite making it. My Saab experience has been unbelievably poor to say the least. RUN!

Purchased vehicle to replace a 2002 Isuzu Trooper. Saab Wagon is more versatile, much safer to drive, handles better, more economical & overall a great alternative to a SUV. Really surprised at how fast the car is, many times have 'burned rubber' pulling out into traffic!
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!
it's my second, would buy a 3rd

I had a '99 9-5 lpt wagon, sold it to buy a '97 Volvo 850 (NA) wagon, and just could not wait to get another 9-5 wagon. The 9-5 is a much stronger car overall and even gets better gas mileage. We still have an '00 Volvo V70 XC wagon that my wife likes, but I find it inferior to the 9-5 in all respects from economy to acceleration + the 9-5 has a WB radio and gets better reception on the AM band to boot! Yes, I do have snow tires (Gislaved Nordfrosts) on the 9-5 and it is the equal of the AWD V70 (and we have a hilly, curvy 1/3-mile-long driveway!) during our winters.
