Used 2002 Saab 9-5 Consumer Reviews
A Pleasant Surprise
I was recently in the market for a new car and primarily limited my search to the well known top performers: Acura, BMW and Lexus. After thinking I had narrowed my search, I came across the Saab 9-5 and never looked anywhere else. It is truly an amazing automobile. I have the 2.3t (manual transmission) which has more luxury features then any of the aforementioned vehicles in its class, it's got great acceleration and with On-Starm, you can't go wrong. Most people I know had never seen one, but now everywhere I go, it captivates on-lookers.
No justice for one of the finests cars..
When the test drive of the Aero here in Mexico no vendor was at the time and one of the mechanics came with me. We both were atonished. Acceleration is incredible, handling in curves is equal to none and the ride quality, even with the tunned suspension, is absolut comfort. Also tested the 330iA. Just said, "..thanks, but I will have the Saab". Not many 9-5 (neither 9-3's) can be seen in Mexico, so this is realy a head turner. BMW's are now in every corner. What most impreses me is that Saab was not even in my third choice (also considered the A4 and Volvo S60) and almost got unnoticed, if not given the advise to test drive it by a friend.

9-5 Linear Wagon
Solid Car, reliable, fun to drive, versatile, cargo hauler, sporty, multi- purpose, original and different. This car is multi-faceted and serves multiple functions well. It has lots of character and always fun to drive on country roads and turns into a real cruiser on the highway in 5th gear.
Best Wagon Value
My wife and I compared the Volvo V70 and Passat GLX to the Saab. The Saab was the clear winner. Exterior looks aside, this vehicle was by far the most bang for the buck. After the dealership took $7,000 off the sticker it was a no brainer. It even looks pretty good in midnight blue. It's sportier than the Volvo and more distinctive than the Passat. The interior is top notch.
very impressive
Excellent performance,and superb stability
