I have bought 16 cars in the past 25 years and this was/is the BEST automobile I have ever owned! I have had a Lexus, Infiniti, BMW, and Fords and from the Dealership to the build of the car I give them both a 10!

I bought a 2002 Nissan Altima with everything. You know what it cost? $29K out the door. You know what it was put together like? A $18K Altima model with a higher sticker. So, I said life is too short and took my wifes Chrysler Sebring convertible ... AND my brand new Nissan Altima 3.5 SE and traded both in... For a 9-3 Turbo Convertible and a stunning black, Saab 9-5 ARC 3.0t. The SAAB is way faster than the 240HP Nissan with only 200HP and get this.. The sticker read $39K (SAAB incentives lowered it to $34K) and it is screwed together better than my father's Lexus 430LS... Saab.....way to go. The best car I have ever owned.

This is my second 9/5. Had a 2001 and loved it. The 2002 is a little softer visually and doesnt have the same edge as the '01 did. Many improvements between the two years though. I've enjoyed now having an auto vs. stick. The sport mode really makes a difference.

Beautiful Car! I got this car and it needed a few minor check ups, that cost me around $200, but after all I'm buying a used car, i actually had in mind a little more than that! :) the car has GREAT performance, and I'm loving it, its classy and sexy at the same time!

FIRST -- I have an automatic, not a 5 speed (but Edmunds doesn't give that option). I really wanted a stick -- drove the previous model 9-5 -- then the '02 with Automatic in sport mode -- great transmission. The car handles better then a comparable BMW wagon -- its taughter than Audi -- far more luxurious than VW Passat. PLenty of room for passengers, and versatile cargo area.
