Used 2002 Saab 9-5 Consumer Reviews
Thought I got a STEAL but.....
Purchased in May of 2006 w/36,000 mi. on the clock, paid $19,500. Current mileage 65,800 mi. Wanted to love this car but it has been in the shop more than any other car I have owned, 7 or 8 times in the 2 1/2 years I have owned her. The interior could use an update, but the seats are super comfy. I really like the exterior of the car, looks fast standing still. Gas mileage in town is poor for a 4 cyl., only about 17 mpg due to the turbo but hwy mileage is surprisingly good at about 31 mpg. Just too many little things. Warranty ran out in Sept. and just today I spent $1800 on repairs and the 60,000 mile service. Sad to say she will probably get traded in soon.
PERFECT
I use it for light trips and use the OnStar, its great- travel info, where is ther nearest hotel with an indoor pool? , Onstar in the SAAb can tell you- Have a flat, SAAB roadside assistance or Onstar roadside can help. Car handels great!!! awesome in dry and wet. fun to drive witht he turbo, and its so reliable, # 1 in JD Power and Assc. in Initial quality. Safest car in the world- 9-5 no lie.

good test drive but no cigar...
Generally very nice. I just couldn't get weened off the BMW addiction...so I leased another BMW. Still too much torgue steer and I found the seats a little uncomfortable with no natural place to rest my arms while driving. But this car is greatly improved over the 2001 Aero.
Saab Aero
This car glides! Goes 60 to 100 in a blink and you feel like you cruising at 40 on a newly paved road. Impressive acceleration and handling. I had an Acura TL-s which was a nice car and fast as hell, but the ride was subpar. Traded it in for the Saab and now know what it means to drive a true car. The downside? The car doesn't come with a CD changer. The Acura comes with an in dash 6 CD changer. So does the Lincoln LS. Also, if you do plan on playing CDs the storage space for the jewel cases are pathetic. Saab needs to address the CD changer, storage space, and add automatic-up window controls. Maybe I'm just picky. I know, shut and drive!
A Lot Of Car/Wagon
This is our second Saab and by far our favorite. Previous cars were a "96 Mercedes E300 and "97 Q45 and I prefer the Saab. They are finally getting it right in Troll Land.
