I previously drove a 1988 SAAB 9000T, and I'm delighted that this new SAAB lives up to the SAAB standards for safety, performance, efficiency, and comfort. The Aero variant is perhaps the best- kept secret in the automotive universe; its 0-60 time of 6.5 sec and top speed of 155 mph outperforms most rivals, and it's extremely comfortable, as well. The 5-speed manual is superb; clutch effort is light, and the gearshift just falls into place during double-clutch downshifts... bravo! Torque steer is simply not an issue; there's none whatsoever. The car just pulls and pulls, even in the rain! Fantastic OEM Michelin Pilot Primacy tires.
Happy Decision

After an extensive search , I am extremelly pleased with my purchase. The BMW 330xi- out significant price tag. It came down to an Audi A4 Quattro or a Saab 93/95. The Audi 1.8Turbo -a bit underpowered, it begged for standard transmition. Lacked convenience features standard on this category cars. The pumping seat adjustor was a bit odd. The Saab 95 is extremmelly smooth and does not suffer from lack of power with its automatic transmition. Very aggresive prices for leftover 2002 Saabs secured the 95 for less than the Audi A4.

Drove one, rental vehicle in Sverige (Sweden) in 2000. Had a stick. Drove 2,000 US miles in Sweden. Loved the car. And this 2002 9-5 Aero is so much nicer. Buy/lease it. No, I dont't work for Saab/GM. Go for it. You get LOTS for LESS.

Love the car. I am a 31 year old single male and I dive a wagon!. I traded my GMC Jimmy in for the SAAB because I wanted something more luxurious that was sporty, good on gas and could haul my stuff from HomeDepot. I got it all and in a very sexy (at least I think so) package. The car had a few issues when I picked it up but they all were taken car of in a prompt manner by the service department. I would give the service department an excellent rating and the sales department a moderate rating. My sales man was not well informed about the cars features and suggested I try things out to see if they worked. I hope the car proves to be reliable.

This has been a good family, well maintained, gently driven car with some surprising expenses-new turbocharger 3 yrs ago, quirky starting, and annoying LED display failure that would cost $500 to replace. It handles well and the lack of pep is offset by reasonably good gas mileage20/30+ on trips. Not sure I will get another due to the change of ownership and increased quality issues with newer models identified by Consumer Reports.
